Sophia Exarhos Obituary

Published by Whidden-McLean Funeral Home and Crematory - Bartow on Jul. 26, 2019.
Sophia was born on September 6, 1924 and passed away on Monday, July 22, 2019. After graduating from Steubenville High School, Sophia worked in assembly plants on B-24 bombers to support the Allied war effort in both Europe and the Pacific. Her family misses her deeply, yet sends her to that next life with song in their hearts: "When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me, speaking words of wisdom - Let it be, let it be." Visitation and Funeral services will be held on Saturday, July 27, 2019 at 10:00 am for viewing and mass at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, 1305 E. Mann Rd., Bartow, FL 33830, with Fr. Burial will follow at Wildwood Cemetery in Bartow. The family will receive friends at St. Thomas Aquinas from 1:00 - 3:00 pm on Saturday after the funeral service and burial.
