Sophie was born on September 22, 1931 in North Battleford, SK. Sophie was predeceased by her parents Mike and Minnie Boklaschuk, her husband Arthur Dion, her daughter Brenda Rose Dion, and her brother Bobby Boklaschuk.

Sophie and her family moved to Warren, MB to farm in 1948. She then met and married the love of her life Arthur on June 26, 1954. Family meant so much to Sophie in her day to day life and her pride and joy was her granddaughter Shadeen. Sophie loved her Ukrainian background, from making perogies to the "old time" dances; as well she spent many hours crocheting and knitting keepsakes for her family and friends. She also enjoyed all her "Critters" over the years. Bingo was a passion for Sophie. A special thank you to all the nurses and aides at Park Manor for all the wonderful care and attention she received. A special thanks to Joan for the extra TLC she gave to Mom.
