Obituary For Sophie Hooper

Sophie Hooper, daughter of the late Jesus and Rosario Jaramillo, passed away very peacefully in her daughter, Cindy's, home, on Saturday, May 19th. She was raised in a loving family who shaped her into the incredible woman she became.

At age 23, Sophie married the charming and handsome George Hooper. Together, they began a 58 year love affair that most people only dream of. They had seven amazing children who served as the center of their lives. Family meant everything to Sophie. She taught them how to love unconditionally, how to treat others, and to put God first in their lives. She was also Nana to 19 grandchildren who loved nothing more than being at her house. From perfect days in the pool, family trips, huge Hooper holidays, or a hot meal on her stove each time they walked in the door, every day at Nana’s was one to be remembered. And 35 great grandchildren were also lucky enough to call her their Nana. She loved each and every one so dearly, prayed for them nightly and was overcome with joy each time one of them walked in the room to see her. She was so grateful for her family, yet we all know that we’re the lucky ones.

Our heart aches knowing she is no longer with us. But we find peace knowing she is with The Lord, and dancing with her George. She will be greatly missed by her beloved children: Loni Armaz, David Hooper, Darlene Lee, Cindy Pelletier, Debbie Nilsson, John Hooper and George Hooper, as well as her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will also be missed by the many others who love her so dearly, including so many extended family members and friends.

For someone as remarkable as Sophie, an obituary can only reflect but a glimpse of her abundant life. Her love of God, love for her family and all those she cared for, burned so greatly. She is, and will always be, a shining light that will glow in our hearts forever.

Celebration of Life to Follow Burial.
