Obituary

Monnette Sudler-Honesty (1952-2022) passed away on the morning of Sunday, August 21, 2022.  She died peacefully at her home in the Germantown section of Philadelphia following a long and valiant bout with cancer.  She leaves behind a half century of music and musical collaborations that extend across many styles and genres.  She was creating until almost the end of her life.  Appropriately, her final album, released in the fall of 2021, was titled "Stay Strong" and contained original songs of spiritual uplift and social consciousness.  In May 2022 she was honored by Ars Nova Workshop for her many contributions to Philadelphia's jazz and experimental music legacy.  And just weeks before her passing she was recognized by the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage with a 2022 Pew Fellowship.  She is survived by her two sons, two brothers, grandchildren, a maternal aunt and other family, as well as an extensive and diverse community of friends, collaborators, students, and fans.
