many memories of Aunt Sophie....times at the shore as a child, seeing her at church, She was my hairdresser for my wedding. She visited my mom (Margaret Borkoski) when she was unable to go to church. Joey, so sorry for the loss of your mom. Margaret (Sissy) Borkoski
Miss Sophie taught us how to make
Polish Bow Ties, and helped us make them last Fall before the Festival.

Thanks for the memories, Aunt Sophie!! We love you!
Our family has so many wonderful memories that were made with our beloved Aunt Sophie. Our annual Halloween dates, Chrisciki making at the church, the Locust Point Festival, eating at the diner, grocery shopping, the hair salon, sitting on her stoop, the ice cream truck, dancing in her living room, painting our nails, decorating for the holidays (yes, I fixed the curtains), rolling our hair, shopping on Ritchie Highway, visiting with our dogs and even the mini pigs, and many doctor's appointments with Dr. Dart. Aunt Sophie had great stories of both of her Joe's, her dog and cat, her beloved salon, and a doozy about prohibition. She was always pleasant, had a sound ear and gave great advice. So many talks... 100 years was too short for a woman so deeply loved by so many. She was the aunt that we desperately needed and she will be terribly missed.
I have been truly blessed, having had the opportunity to be a part of Sophie's time on earth. She had a genuine love of life, a kind heart, and a beautiful smile. She made me laugh and gave me so much inspiration! I'll always remember her fondly. May she rest peacefully in the arms of the angels.
She will be missed. Such a wonderful, sweet lady. Sophia and my Mom were such good friends, I know Mom will meet her with open arms and they will cherish lovely memories. God bless you all.
Ms.Sophie was the sweetest lady and had a beautiful smile. She will be greatly missed in Locust Point. My deepest sympathy to Joe and his family.
