It’s more than likely that if you live in or have lived in Fair Haven, you know a Reevey.
The family is rooted in the borough’s history, and with much longstanding honor. There are many Reeveys around, and usually doing something, career wise or otherwise, for their community, neighbors, family and friends. It’s seemingly second nature for them.
It’s living matriarch, Sonia, a modest, community-minded woman who is known to love and do anything she can for her hometown, is always featured at the Memorial Day ceremony singing My Buddy, the old war remembrance tune.
This year was no exception. Well, Sonia, family told us on Memorial Day, is turning (or has turned) 80 this month.
We are not quite sure of her birthdate, but would like to take a moment to honor her and wish her Happy Birthday by featuring her in our Retro Pic of the Day offering thanks for her dedication to Fair Haven.
It’s a comfort to know people like Sonia are still around, part of the Fair Haven family without a second thought.
Rumson-Fair Haven Retrospect will feature a full story on Sonia Reevey in the near future.
