She was born on June 7, 1935, in Rembrandt, Manitoba to Daniel and Barbara Tarabalka who came to Winnipeg from East Galicia Austria-Hungary. Sophie attended school in Rembrandt until grade eight and then moved with her mother and siblings to Winnipeg.
She married Arnold Caughy on September 22, 1956, and they had three children, Ronald, Sandra and Shelly. She married Lou Pogranyi on June 15, 2002, after the death of her first husband on January 9, 1999. Unfortunately, Lou has since passed away on January 14, 2023.

She was known for her love of watching sports, especially baseball, hockey and curling. She also enjoyed going to the Legion and dancing on Saturday nights. Friends and family will remember her for always taking pride of her appearance and her Smile.
Sophie was preceded in death by her father Daniel, mother Barbara, her five brothers: Bill, Matt, Sam, Mike, and George and her four sisters: Lena, Mary, Pearl, and Anne. She is survived by her son Ron, and daughters, Sandra (Dean) and Shelly (Brad). Grandchildren Jenesis, Alyssa, Ryan (Nicole), Deanna (Jordan), Travis (Kaitlyn) and Jaclyn (Matt).
