Tadda Addison Sonnier, age 73, passed away peacefully on Monday, February 25, 2019 at her home. She was a
native of Lake Charles and a graduate of LaGrange High School. She was also a member of East Ridge Baptist

family. She had an uncanny ability to reach people in a deep and positive way and never met a stranger. Tadda
lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures while spending time with people and traveling. She was deeply
involved in her church and made several Mission trips to Central American countries. She will be remembered
for her loving sprit and beautiful uplifting smile.
Those left to cherish her memory include her husband of 53+ years, James (Jim) Sonnier; her son Clay Sonnier
and wife Tisha of Ruston, LA; her grandchildren Keirstyn Sonnier, Rocky Sonnier, and Kolby Sonnier of
