Sigrid was born June 13, 1944, in Lithuania and came to the U.S. at the age of six with her mother, Edeltraud Eder Daley, who preceded her in death just three weeks ago. She was also preceded in death by her son, Brian Bonetti, in 1993.

Sigrid had served as a nurse at UPMC-Northwest Oncology Unit under Dr. Howard Kirtland, until her retirement in the late 1990s. Sigrid loved the outdoors, deer hunting, watching the wildlife around her home, and entertaining.

There will be no formal services, as per her wishes.
