Frantiska enjoyed many great travels and adventures in her life, both before and after her heart transplant. She was a model of compassion and kindness. Frantiska took on everything life sent her way with strength and dignity, which is something everyone learned from her. Frantiska was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was happily married to her husband, John, and enjoyed a very close and loving relationship with her children, Zora, John, and Sandra, and later with her son-in-law, Rick DE JONG, and her grand_son, Cole.

After practicing law on Bay Street, in 1988 Sophia joined Kodak Canada as In-House Legal Counsel where she was respected for her hard work, intellect, compassion, and dedication. She enjoyed tennis, squash, and skiing at the Georgian Peaks Ski Club where she had many Friends and supported the Peaks racing program. Sophia spent many wonderful summers at the DE JONGE family cottage on Lake of Bays. She was a member of the Rosedale Presbyterian Church and was very involved with her children's school activities, recently co-chairing the Whitney Public School main fundraising gala.

Passed away March 9th in Toronto in her 88th year. Mom embraced caregivers, Friends and family with love and laughter.
