Sophie was born on August 14, 1923 and raised in the mining town of Levack, Ontario where she met Paul. They were married on May 23, 1944 and a year later, moved to Winnipeg. In 1956, they settled into their residence of 50 years on Lansdowne Avenue in the North End. She will always be remembered as a neighbour who always had a kind word and a generous heart. Sophie worked for many years along side her husband in the family grocery business, but her real pride was in her home. Anyone who came to Winnipeg stayed with Sophie and Paul. Family gatherings and her cooking are still talked about her holupchies were the best. Sophie's passion was her family, especially the grandchildren. They were the source of her greatest pleasure, and she enjoyed talking with them even after they spread out across the globe.
