Myron L. Sonneborn

Sonneborn, Myron L., 95, who resided at the Ohio Masonic Home in Springfield, Ohio and a Thirty-Third Degree, Scottish Rite Mason, was born to Earthly Life on August 23, 1929 and passed to Eternal Life on Saturday, November 23, 2024. He was preceded in death by all the following: wife, Helen F. Sonneborn; parents, Rev. George and Viola Sonneborn; sister, Lois (Roy) Lausman; brothers, George (Barbara) Sonneborn, Paul (Flossie) Sander and their children, Paul and Fred Sander; and grandparents, John (Emilie) Freese. 

Surviving are a son, Paul (Kerry) and their children, Nicholas, Michael and William; daughter, Kathy (Dean) Barley and their children, Maura and Ian; daughter, Linda (Lee) Wilson; daughter, Lisa (Michael) Lee and their children, Anthony and Alexis; stepdaughter, Carrie Landers (Michael) O’Neal and their children, Michael, Matthew and McKenzie and her husband, and their children, Vincent and Olivia Upchurch; sister, Janet (Norman) Neubauer; and a host of nieces and nephews, Amy Trumbower, Julie Sonneborn, David, John and Mark Lausman, George, Jr. and David Sonneborn and their families. 

For two years Myron attended Elmhurst College in Elmhurst, IL. However, he decided to go another route with his life. He lived at home and started to attend night school to gain some sales skills so he would be better prepared as a salesman. That worked out well. The last 10-12 years he was employed by JC Penny, but with Helen’s health failing her care was of greater importance. The final years of her life, Myron was with her almost 24 hours a day. She rests in peace, as she passed away on May 30, 2021. Before his sales career, Myron was pleased to serve as the Executive Secretary of Scottish Rite of the Valley of Dayton.
