FYNN - Sonia Wentworth July 29, 1925 January 13, 2008 In their daily life, All are braver than they know Henry David Thoreau Sonia Wentworth Fynn lived a vibrant, well-travelled and fiercely independent life. Born in London, England to Charles Sydney Wentworth Reeve and Maude Reeve (nee Greenway), Sonia is predeceased by sister Anne and brother Richard; survived by sister Suzette of Poole, England; son Christopher John Fynn (Yeshi) of London, England; daughter Thelma Sonia Wright (Lee) of Vancouver; grandchildren Tara, Sanjay and Tinley Fynn and Lindsay, Anthony, Philip and Gillian Wright. Sonia immigrated to Canada with husband Derrick and family in 1957. Over the years she studied Engineering, Accounting, Biology, Debating, Political Science and Economics; earning a BSc. and Teaching Certificate from UBC, and Masters degree from SFU. Sonia taught and travelled in England, South Africa, New Zealand, and Ft. St. John, returning in 1974 to settle in West Vancouver. She worked as a government tax auditor until her retirement and was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion (West Van) and the BC Seniors Table Tennis community. Sonia had a passion for gardening, natural history, and table tennis; travelling the world winning numerous medals and honours as a master athlete. She competed in multiple BC and World Games and was a Sport BC master athlete finalist and North Shore Female Master Athlete of the Year for 2006.
