She is survived by sister Pearl Enefer, brother Edward (Esther) and brother-in-law Albert Payne. Auntie Sophie will also be lovingly remembered by her many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, and great-great-nieces and nephews. Sophie was born January 2, 1922 in Pine Ridge MB and was raised and lived in Transcona. Sophie worked for the federal government for 33 years, retiring in December 1978 to care for her father. Sophie loved to travel and toured all of Canada, most of the USA, parts of Europe and Jamaica on her own or with her friend Pat. While Sophie still lived on her own she would catch the bus almost everyday to go downtown, sometimes to have lunch with her friends, Marguerite, Marie and Clare, to get her hair done, or just to shop. Sophie always remembered the birthdays and anniversaries of her extended family. She enjoyed attending family celebrations and hearing about what was happening in our lives. The family wishes to thank the staff and volunteers at the Park Manor Personal Care Home for all the care and attention they gave to Sophie. She really enjoyed the people and activities. The family would also like to thank all of those who watched out for Sophie, the neighbours, bus drivers, sales staff, bank staff, and especially the staff and patrons at the Winona Restaurant (now Park Place). You are very special people. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, June 14 at 11:00 a.m. at Transcona Memorial United Church, 209 Yale Ave. W., with Rev Carol Fletcher officiating. A private family interment will take place at a later date at Sunnyside Cemetery. If friends so desire, donations may be made in Sophie's memory to the Park Manor Personal Care Home, Alzheimer Society of Manitoba or a charity of your choice. Wheeler Funeral Chapel is in charge of arrangements.
