Hildegard ‘Peggy’ Sohn passed away at St. Joseph’s Home – Carmel Hospice in Medicine Hat on Friday, August 7, 2020, at the age of 81 years. Left to cherish Peggy’s memory are her son, Jeff (Linda) Sohn; grandson, Tanner (Mackenzie) Sohn and their sons, Kruz, Sawyer and Maxwell; grandson, Carter Sohn (Nicole Welsh); daughter, Ursula Sohn (Sheldon Ernst); son, Tim (Cathy) Sohn; grandson, Josh Sohn (Marlie Bramwell) and their children, Lennyn, Harlyn and Huxley. Peggy was predeceased by her husband, Siegfried Albert Sohn. Born in the Black Forest region of Germany in 1939, Hildegard Sohn was 18 when she arrived in Regina with her newly married sister, Gisela and brother-in-law, George. Intending to stay and work for a year, she changed plans and married Siegfried Sohn in 1958, who nicknamed her Peggy. Jeff, Ursula and Tim soon followed. Living in Swift Current and later in Medicine Hat, Peggy worked at the Betty Shop and later interior decorated new houses built by Siegfried. At Riverside Waterslide, she worked the office and retail side. Peggy loved the fresh veggies their large garden supplied and nurtured every kind of flower in their huge yard. Her special love was watching the many visiting birds and befriending and taming the tiny chickadees. Peggy loved family camping, fishing and hiking. Later years saw her travel internationally, becoming a great photographer taking a deep interest in people, their culture and landscapes. Peggy loved everyone at St. Joseph’s and was so appreciative of all the care she received. A most sincere thank you from the entire family, to each of you at St. Joseph’s; you are so very special and held in the highest regard and love. A private time of remembrance will be held at a future date.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Hildegard ‘Peggy’ Sohn 1939 2020..
