Sophie Pasloski
May 6, 1928 – May 5, 2018
Sophie Pasloski passed away peacefully at the Invermay Health Centre on May 5, 2018, one day shy of her of her 90th birthday.
Sophie was born on May 6, 1928, in Ituna, SK. She was the 9th of 10 children born to Alfred and Anne (Krywulak) Purcha. As a child, she attended Churchill school. Sophie lived with her parents and brothers and sisters in a three-room house on the homestead near Ituna, SK. When Sophie was sixteen years of age, her father sold the land in Ituna and bought Walter Fullawka’s farm in the Dobrowody district. It was there, she met her future husband, Vincent, and they were married in August 1950. They spent most of their married life on the Pasloski homestead, north of Rama, where they raised a family of five children. Sophie was blessed to have her mom, Anne, live with them for a short time.
Shortly after retiring, Vincent and Sophie moved to Rama. Sophie was very passionate about her vegetable and flower gardens, especially her roses and dahlias. She was always experimenting with new recipes and created some very delicious canned goods. As she was a very good cook, no one left her table hungry.
Sophie’s favorite Saturday night routine was to play radio bingo with her cat, Smokey, by her side. She also followed the Blue Jays and watched hockey on television. Active in her community, she served as president of the Rama Golden Jets Senior’s club, which she served with pride and fulfillment. She enjoyed planning bingos, lunches and member birthday parties. She also served as Rama correspondent for the Canora Courier to which she reported local news and events. She was known for including a special quote in her news articles. As her mobility failed, Sophie became a resident of Aspen Bluffs Care Home in Yorkton, SK. She always wanted to be closer to her home and friends, so as soon as space became available in Invermay, she accepted the opportunity to move to the Invermay Health Centre. She spent the next four years in Invermay and was a regular participant in all activities at the lodge, including bingo, crafts, and hangman. She enjoyed the live entertainment and the monthly birthday parties. In her quiet time, she enjoyed relaxing in her room, working on crossword puzzles and word searches or just watching television.
She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Sophie was predeceased by her husband of 52 years, Vincent; four brothers: Frank, John, Mike and Stanley and five sisters: Anne, Victoria, Marie, Rose and Bernice.
She is survived by her five children: Ron (Margaret), Rita (Ed) Nowakowski, Georgina (Ron) Vos, Donna (Barry) Bodnarchuk, and Lisa Pasloski and her seven grandchildren: Kim (Lindsay) Knorr, Amanda (Cory) Baschuk, Joe (Raelyn) Pasloski, Ronna (Paul) Nagy, Brad Nowakowski (Shellina Krahn),

Sara Nowakowski, and Robbie Bodnarchuk. She was especially proud to be great grandma to Hailey, Brock, Teysen, Sofie, Chase, Evrytt and Stefanie.
