Beloved wife to Aleksy. Adored mother to Grazyna (Joe), Andrew (Rodolfo) and Margaret (Jan). Cherished Babcia to Adam, Lisa, Rebecca, Alexandra, Elizabeth, Alexander, Rachel, and loving great-grandmother of ten.
Born in Lublin, Poland, she immigrated to Canada in 1958 where she made her home and raised her family. Sophia retired from McMaster University where she worked as a libarian for many years. She was a creative woman with great flare that was evidenced in her personal style, home, and all she touched. Sophia was an avid reader with a fiercely curious mind. Above all it was love of family that was the true essence of her being. Our deepest gratitude to all the wonderful staff at the Hamilton General Hospital who cared for Sophia. Donations to the St. Patrick's Church De Mazenod Door Outreach Program would be welcomed.
