Sophia Lopez Obituary

Lopez, Sophia Despite her loss of breath to cancer, Sophie by all measure lived life to its fullest. Loving and caring wife of Bob; adored and devoted mother to Mike, Kevin (Linda), and Rick; dedicated grandmother, precious great-grandmother, beloved daughter, dear sister, remarkable auntie, treasured great-auntie, true friend and neighbor. A sage to us all. Sophie's resolute need for honesty made her the consummate confidante. Someone to be trusted to say what needed to be said, not just that which wanted to be heard. Always thoughtful and with real concern. May the love she shared so generously fill our hearts eternally. A Memorial Gathering will be held Sunday, April 5, at the Funeral Home from 3:30 to 4:30 PM with a celebration of her life at 4:30 PM. All family and friends are welcome. In lieu of flowers, support to Sophie's family will be humbly accepted.

Dear Bob, Mike, Kevin, and Rick,
I shocked and saddened by death of dear Sophie. I shall always remember her for her kindness, her welcoming spirit and her wisdom. For years she gave me my haircuts for which I shall always be grateful. I wish I could have be present at her farewell. The consoling thought is that she is with our loving God. May our loving and consoling God be with each of you during this time of sorrow as your source of solace. Be assured of my prayers and thoughts.

Aunt Sophie was one of the sweetest people I ever knew. It is rare to have someone be so compassionate to everyone she encounters. She will be dearly missed, but also remembered for her loving kindness.

I rely on God who promises to comfort us during our times of distress. We read at 2nd Corint. 3:1, "Blessed be the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort." Your family and friends will be in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Sophia and I went to school together at St. Francis. In 1986 we had a 30 year reunion of our 9th grade class from St. Francis and so I was able to see Sophia again. I have many good memories of our time at St. Francis. I was very surprised today when I read of her death notice. Blessings to the family.
