Sophia Margaret Nielsen passed away peacefully on July, 24th, 2024, due to complications from Leukemia, at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital. Sophia was born to parents Zack and Jade Nielsen on February 7th, 2020 in Puyallup, WA. She was known to all as a strong, outgoing, silly, and energetic girl. She loved water, whether it was swimming in a pool or taking a bath. She loved all creatures, most especially tigers, and wanted to be a zookeeper when she grew up.
Sophia was funny and kind to all and never met a stranger. When she wasn’t out catching critters and reuniting them with their families, she was glued to her sister’s hip or riding on her beloved scooter, named snickers. Her favorite phrase was, “I slipped on my beans”, and she used it anytime someone slipped, tripped or fell.
Sophia is survived by her loving parents Zack and Jade, and her sister, Charlotte. A celebration of life will be held at Greenwood Memorial Funeral Home - 350 Monroe Ave Ne, Renton, WA, 98056 on Friday, August 2nd from 12pm until 3pm, in her honor. Please join our family in remembering her bright and beautiful life.
