Sonda Ann Roberts Womack, age 83, of Chatham, Louisiana, passed away on April 30, 2026, in Chatham, surrounded by her three sons and their wives.
She was born November 27, 1942, in Chatham, Louisiana, to W. R. and Aline Johnson Roberts, the seventh of ten children.
Sonda devoted her life in service to her Lord, her family, and her community. She faithfully served the Lord through her gift of music, playing the piano and organ for various congregations over a span of 73 years. She also served her community as Postmaster of the Chatham Post Office for over 25 years and gave her time generously to the Crossroads Mission in Chatham.
At home, she expressed that same devotion in quieter but no less meaningful ways caring for her family and creating a place where they were always welcome.
She was preceded in death by her parents; all nine of her siblings; her husband, Tommy L. Womack; one great-grandson, Kobyn Malone; and the father of her three sons, Terry Malone.
She is survived by her three sons and two step-daughters: Ben Malone and wife Kellie of Madisonville, Louisiana; Lynn Malone and wife Vanessa of Minden, Louisiana; and Shawn Malone and wife Toni of Chatham, Louisiana, step-daughters, Jan Blythe and husband Jim of La Belle, Florida, and Nan Cole and husband Steve of Shreveport, LA. She is also survived by seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Two sisters-in-law, Lynette Roberts and Sandy Roberts, also survive.
The pallbearers will be Adam Malone, Josh Malone, Kade Malone, Taylor McCarty, Matthew Ingram, Michael Lites, Ryder Malone, and Mitchell Malone.
The honorary pallbearers will be Jason Roberts, Don Reinhart, and Ronnie Hightower.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Chatham Community Church or the Zoar Cemetery Association, c/o Peoples Bank in Chatham, LA.
