A “light-spirited” retired foster carer, who helped improve the lives of countless children, has died aged 61.
Sonia Harpley, of Primrose Square, Swanton Morely, was a foster carer for almost two decades and has been praised for her efforts with the young people she took into her home.
Born on June 25, 1959, she grew up in the village of Hockering, near Dereham.
The youngest of four, she attended Nethered High School in Dereham before leaving at the age of 16 to work in Norwich’s Rowntree Mackintosh chocolate factory alongside her father.
