Sabonis, Anneliese Charlotte

Anneliese Charlotte Sabonis, 3 years and seven months, woke up with God on May 10th, 2022, after peacefully saying goodbye to her family. She was always seen with a smile and felt “good” despite bravely battling brain cancer, ETMR, since February 2nd, 2021.

She declared her admiration and thanks to all the doctors, nurses, and staff at CCMC, Boston Children's, Dana Farber, and Mass General by proclaiming she wanted to become a doctor herself.

Her greatest happiness was always helping others. She was a gift and her sunshine smile shined. She was a rainbow in the lives of her family, here and gone, but forever in our hearts, bringing endless joy wherever she went. Her goodness surpassed all boundaries; she was truly a gift from god. We were thankful we got to see

her personality before she passed. We were blessed beyond blessed for all of our moments with her.

She was welcomed in heaven by her maternal grandfather, Robert S. Kegler. She will be forever loved by her parents Rich and Kristen; siblings El, Richard, and Catherine; grandparents Richard Sabonis Sr., Donna Weaver and Jack Turner, Deb and George Routhier; Aunts and Uncles Dawn Sinclair, Robert and Jessica Kegler, and Amber Routhier; and cousins Dove and Jaden Sinclair, Cohen Flannagen, Genevieve and Sebastian Kegler and Aleia Hartley.

Until we meet again, we will look up to the Heavens to see her in every rainbow and at night laughing and playing with the stars in space, which she loved so much.

The Funeral Liturgy will be celebrated on Tuesday, May 17th, at 10am in the Church of St. Mary Star of the Sea, Unionville. Please wear bright colors to the funeral. There are no calling hours. A Celebration of Life will be

held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CT Children's Department of Oncology, 282 Washington St., Hartford, CT 06106. Arrangements are

being handled by The Ahern Funeral Homes, Inc., www. ahernfuneralhome.com.
