Sophie Elliott

She is survived by her husband of 62 years Wendell; son Dean; granddaughter Amanda; great granddaughter Rowen; grandson Brandon, and son in law Gerald. Sophie was able to connect with her siblings Mary (Toronto), Olga (Leduc) and Fred (Calmar) prior to her passing; saying how much she loved them. Sophie was predeceased by older siblings Annie, Helen and George along with parents Maria and Michael Jakowicki.

Sophie was able to leave this earth on her terms with nothing unsaid to her family and friends. She was loved by all who crossed her path over her 84 years; not that she looked a day over 70 (likely thanks to her moisturizing Avon products). Sophie vowed each year would be her last to sell Avon as a side hobby, however, she did such for 38 years. Sophie never did the "door to door" sales, rather it was word of mouth that people found her and lasting friendships were created. Sophie worked even more years with Sears up until it closed which finally forced her into retirement. She enjoyed her new found freedom to make even more jam, shortbread, perogies and cabbage rolls for her family.

Sophie did not want any service - she asked for any donations to be made to the cancer society.

Sophie's family feels so blessed to have had this time with her and continue to feel her love. She said she never had any regrets in her life, living it to its fullest.
