Russell and Lucille (Jackson) Shuey.
On April 4, 1963, she married the love of her life, Samuel
C. Witherite who preceded her in death on March 5, 2019.
Sondra loved playing bingo, watching old movies on television,
spoiling her dog Billie, and rest assured nobody left her home hungry,
especially her grandchildren who often left with treats to take home. In her
younger years she enjoyed playing cards with friends, crocheting and riding motorcycles
with the love of her life.

wife Dianne of Great Falls, MT; two daughters, Kimberly Rudy and her husband
Daniel of PA Furnace, and Karen Dunlap (Sean) of State College; eight
grandchildren, Ramsey Witherite (Jessica), Raina Leavens (Moses), Dani Houtz

(Mikayla), and Shayla Dunlap and eleven great-grandchildren, Sadie Witherite, Josie
Witherite, Zoey Leavens, River Leavens, Branch Leavens, Carter Houtz, Camryn
Houtz, Tucker Houtz, Kiara Barto, Landon Vonada, and Ryland Vonada. Also
surviving are her two sisters, Beverly Capperela, and Linda Gummo.
In addition to her parents and husband she was preceded in
death by Marjorie "Peg" Haller, Catherine "Kate" Auman, and Russell Shuey Jr.
