September 29, 1935 - September 8, 2022
We are saddened to announce the passing of Sophia Genge of Anchor Point. Sophia passed away on September 8, 2022 at Charles Curtis Memorial Hospital in St. Anthony.
Sophia married her husband Rufus in 1953. They celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary in July. Shortly after their marriage they welcomed their first child Theodore into their family. Later they were blessed with their three other children Elsie, Bruce and Rufus Jr. They raised their family in Cook's Harbour and moved to Anchor Point in 1976.
Sophia will be dearly missed by her husband Rufus, her children Theodore (Joy), Elsie, and Bruce (Mary Rachel), her grandchildren; David (Leigh), Rodney (Wendy), Martina (Denny), Raymond (Dinah), Angela, Tracy, Jeannette, Kenda (Dennis), Zachary(Melissa), and Cody (Jennifer).
Her great grandchildren loved to go visit “Nan” and get an icecream or candy treat. She will always be remembered and loved by them all; Kaitlyn, Matthew, Kyle, Aiden, Ethan, Sofia, Lauren, Justina, Selene, Aurora, Luke, Brooke, Gage and Kensli. (Step great grandchildren; Kaylie, Hannah and Lexie).
She also leaves behind a sister, sister and brother in laws, nieces and nephews, and a large circle of family and friends.
She is predeceased by her parents William and Susanna Genge, parent in law Walter and Minnie Genge, son Rufus Genge jr, brothers and sisters Mary Margaret, Jimmy, Clarence, Elijah (Beulah), Lambert (Naomi).
She left this world on the same day as the queen and to her family she was the Queen of their family. A special thanks to the nurses and staff at Curtis Memorial Hospital. She loved her nurses, as they treated her with so much kindness. Also to her “Girls”, her homecare workers; Dorothy, Jessica, Darlene, Johanne and Tammy. And her number one caretaker, her daughter in law Joy. Joy cared for her and helped her with everything, from feeding her supper, sorting her pills and running around!
