January 13, 1932 - April 24, 2022
In loving memory ~
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sophie who passed away peacefully at the age of 90 at Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Williams lake with family by her side.
She was a loving Mother, Oma and a friend to many who all adored her. She was stylish and elegant with the most pleasant personality with a bright and beautiful soul. She first came to Canada in the early fifties to be with her loving husband John in Williams Lake where she had her two sons Roland and Erwin. She worked at the Famous Bakery and Café for about ten years then moving to Merritt with her family for over 55 years.
In that time she enjoyed her hobbies of gardening, baking and dancing and loved her home with John and family while making many close friends over the years.
She loved travelling to different places but especially to Germany to visit family, and loved when her relatives would come to visit from Gemany.
She loved and got such a thrill when her grandchildren would also come to visit and play in the yard. In 2017 she moved back to Williams Lake to be closer to family and the need to live in Assisted Living at The Seniors Villiage where she also made many more friends.
Sophie was pre-deceased by her loving huband John and sister Emily and also two of her grandchildren Christy and Adrian.
Survived by sons Roland (Alexis) and Erwin (Debby); sister Betty (Manfred); nephews Manfred Jr. (Roswehta), Thomas (Susanne), Andreas (Marga), and Peter (Uschi); grandchildren Angelina (Rob), Ben (Karen), Shannon, Melanie (Rob), and Keona; great-grandchildren Chloe, Levi, Roman, Alexander, Lily, Scarlett, Mira and Rayne.
A special thanks to close family members Koby and Angeline for always being there over the years for our dear mom.
And to all the Staff and Home Care involved at The Williams Lake Seniors Villiage.
We are so grateful for the time we had with her and will miss her dearly. But now Mom and Dad are together again Ballroom dancing.
A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
