Sophie Nelson
December 13, 1929 ~ March 21, 2022

Sophie Nelson passed away at Mont St. Joseph Home, in Prince Albert, SK.

Sophie was born in Henribourg, SK. Mom lived on the farm until she met and married Bob. Her father built them a small house in Henribourg, where they started their family. 5 years later they moved to Prince Albert where she and Bob raised 3 children. The house still stands today as a family cabin at Emma Lake.

For many years mom worked in the banquet room of the Sheraton Marlboro Hotel. They also operated lottery kiosks in both the Gateway Mall and South Hill mall for many years.

Mom and dad were avid gardeners, growing more produce than they and their families could use, so they shared with friends and neighbours.

For many years, they went to the Heritage Center to socialize and play cards. Being with these friends meant the world to them.

They enjoyed going on many casino bus trips. The most enjoyable was to Winnipeg to visit with Bob’s sister and her husband Al.

Sophie is survived by her loving family, her son, James (Angie) Nelson and their children, Cara (Andrew) Pete of Saskatoon, SK and their children, Allison of Kelowna, BC, Devin of Saskatoon, SK, Steven (Stacey) Nelson and their children, Zoe and Jaycee formerly of North Battleford and now Chilliwack, BC, Laura (Callum) Olver and their children, Teagan, Petra and Nixie of Prince Albert, SK, and Michael (Tara) Nelson of Prince Albert, SK; her daughters, Cindy (Michael) Adams of Livingston, Montana, Sharyn Houle (Kane Kachur) of Saskatoon and her children, Riley Houle (Rachel Courtice) of Saskatoon, SK, Kelsey Houle (Matthew Doucette) of Big River, SK; her sister, Stella McKeand of Prince Albert, SK; her brother-in-law, Al Cormier of Winnipeg, MB; and many nieces and nephews.
