Sondra Atkins
June 12, 1973 - April 4, 2019

Sondra Dee (Warren) Atkins, beloved mother, sister, daughter, aunt, niece, cousin, and friend to many, passed into God's loving arms on April 4, 2019.

Sondra was born on June 12th, 1973 to Mary Kathryn and Robert Warren. Her birth parents precede her in death. She was also born with the rare and debilitating genetic skin disease Epidermolysis Bullosa, for which there is no cure.

She lived her life of pain with grace, a great sense of humor, a phenomenal, upbeat outlook on life and love for everyone she knew.

Sondra attended Argyle elementary and middle schools and graduated from Denton High School Class of 1991. She attended several universities during her undergraduate studies.

Sondra's desire was for others with this disease to benefit from research programs in which she had participated. She was a real pioneer in new breakthroughs in skin growth and grafting.

She is survived by her daughter, Jessica Mary Atkins; her sisters Theresa Andersson and husband Jeff, and Sarah McClain and husband Michael; her brothers, Stacey Hagen and wife Karen; Jim Warren, and Michael Warren and wife Verity; her mother since the age of 4, Keitha Warren; and many nieces, nephew's, aunts, uncle's, cousins and close friends.

"My condolences to her family. My childhood eyes saw Sondra bear her burdens with grace as well. I remember Sondra came over to play one day, and we rolled up our jeans went wading in the pond. I cant remember why. Probably to look for critters. We had a great time, but I remember her mom was furious! As she should have been. -Kimbra Martin Widner "
