Sophie was a long time Collingswood resident and was proudly employed by Cooper Hospital as a telephone operator for over 45 years. She was known to always be impeccably dressed and maintained. Sophie loved to shop at Boscov’s, watch Phillies games, visit the Chinese buffet for lunch, and in earlier years, work on her garden and travel the world. Her strong spirit and spunky personality were known to be one of a kind and will be dearly missed by all who loved her. Sincere appreciation goes to Sophie’s wonderful caregiver throughout the years, Liz Crawley, for her devoted care and attention.
