She was born in the RM of Rockwood in the Stonewall District on April 13, 1926. Mom is by our Father’s side now and that is exactly where she wanted to be.

Mom met Dad at school when she was in grade 5 and dad was in grade 7. Their relationship was sealed as they married about 10 years later. They lived at the family farm located in Rosser for about 50 years before retiring and moving to Stonewall. Mom was a lifelong member of Immanuel Lutheran Church. She was an avid sports fan and followed her children all over the province attending hockey games, baseball games and football games. Mom was renowned for her unbiased analysis of all types of sports not just limited to hockey or baseball. She was also a very active member of the Stonewall Legion Branch #52.

A special thank you to the Stonewall Hospital for their excellent care given to our mother and grandmother. Thank You to Ken Loehmer for guiding us through this process with such care and compassion.

My deepest sympathies to all of you. Sophie was a wonderful lady. I have many fond memories of her. She has now reunited with the love of her life. I’m fairly certain there is a group of friends all sitting around a table in heaven having a drink and many laughs. Thinking of you all
