Sophie was born on July 4, 1928 in Gardenton Manitoba. She received her schooling in Lukowce school and spent her younger years on the family farm.

While working in Winnipeg she met Victor and they married shortly there after in 1952. They moved to Dryden where they both were employed at the Dryden Paper Company cooking in the bush camps.

She was blessed with a family of 2 sons whom she was extremely proud of. Sophie was a very devoted and loving mother. She could always be found in her garden and took great pride in it.

Sophie was a person of faith and a member of St. Lukes Anglican Church.

The Family would like to thank the Nurses and Staff at Princess Court for their care and compassion for Mom over the years.

A private Family Funeral Service is planned as per Sophies wishes.

Internment will follow at the Dryden Cemetery.
