Sondra Sue Loveless

March 3, 1969- September 30, 2022

Sondra Sue Loveless, 53, of Owings passed away September 30, 2022. She was born March 3, 1969, in Annapolis to Richard Dwight Sr. and Nancy Carol (Wood) Osbourn. Sondra was raised on her family’s farm and graduated from Northern High School in 1987. She married Barry Loveless in 1996 and they lived on the family farm in Owings. Sondra worked eighteen years for Calvert County Public Schools, first as a substitute teacher at Northern Middle and High Schools, then as the Attendance Secretary for Northern High School. She was well known for her vast knowledge of students past and present, as well as their family around the county. In her summers and school vacations, Sondra enjoyed traveling and camping with her family. At home on the family farm, she enjoyed crafting, baking, tending to her gardens and plants, and listening to classic country music. Sondra was fascinated with her family history and genealogy and was happy to share her large family’s ancestry with anyone who would listen.  Sondra was a well-rounded, caring, compassionate person and will be greatly missed.

Sondra is survived by her loving husband Barry, daughter Bailey Marie Casselman, granddaughter Camelia Meredith Casselman, parents Dwight and Nancy Osbourn, and brothers Richard and Jeffrey Osbourn. She was preceded in death by her sister Vicki Marie Osbourn.

    My sincere condolences to the entire family. Such a wonderful Lady, taken way to soon. Sondra was a pure, kind ,sweet, loving person all the days of her life. The world truly is a little more cool and numb without her. May God grant the family closure at this horrible time. Rest in Peace dear Lady. You will truly be missed by so many.

    I taught Sondra when she was in middle school – hardworking student and I enjoyed working with her at Northern High. Prayers for family – she will be missed.

    Mrs. Loveless was so kind, welcoming, and helpful. My kids thought very highly of her at NHS. She will be greatly missed. Thoughts and prayers for her family.

    Mrs. Loveless got me through high school honestly. I would spend lunches with her gossiping about everything happening. She will truly be missed.
