Sophie Sass
1918- 2018
Sophie passed away peacefully on January 11, 2018 at Birchview Care Home, Birch Hills, SK. She was born December 20, 1918 to William and Barbara Tycholiz at their homestead located at Janow Corners and was the last surviving sibling of their 9 children. Growing up, she attended the Janow Corners School. On November 15, 1942, Sophie married Paul Sass and they were blessed with 4 children, David, Eddie, Carol and Dwayne. Eddie passed away in infancy and the family was devastated by the loss of David in 1965. Sophie’s strong faith carried her through the years. Paul and Sophie semi-retired in 1976 when they purchased a home in Prince Albert, but continued to spend summers at the farm. She enjoyed gardening and canning, but most precious to her was the time she spent with her family and grandchildren. Sophie will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Carol (Murray “Butch”) Ash and their daughter Buffy; her son Dwayne (Linda) and their children Kimberly (Graham Matsalla), Jason and Kevin; her sisters- in- law Ann Tycholiz, and Jean Tycholiz; and numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives.
