My daughter, Rachel, and I loved volunteering at the Northridge Discovery Shop. She was so smart and funny and could relate to all ages. She was one of a kind and a true inspiration. She will be remembered always. Julie Levin

I loved working with Sophia at the Discovery Shop. She had such a dry sense of humor and had some great stories to tell. Sophia was very popular and at 100 years old she was still the favorite cashier for the customers. She will be missed.
