Many years ago, Sofie and Marvin made Chickasha, Oklahoma their home and they were faithful members of Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church. Over the years, she loved serving the Chickasha community friends and family with her German food, owning and operating a German deli and later a restaurant, Sofie’s Little Bavaria. She loved animals and opened her front porch to all the local strays. She was known for her joyful laugh. She was bold, strong and deeply caring at the same time. Her family was always very important to her, and she always said her children and grandchildren were the jewels in her crown.

She was preceded in death by both parents, her husband Marvin, her sister Josephine Wilson, brother Matias “Biche” Hofmann and her son Michael Staab.
