ELGERSMAN, Sophie A. (nee Mantel)

On Saturday, December 26, 2020, at 90 years of age. In His infinite wisdom, the Lord called Sophie Elgersman (nee Mantel) to her eternal Home.

In Ontario, she married the love of her life, the late Fred Elgersman (2001) and raised a large family through faith, love, and hard work. Loving mother of Bill Elgersman, Lynn (Chuck) Widdup, Randy (Alice) Elgersman, Joanne (Peter) Hogeterp, Steve Elgersman, Pete (Diane) Elgersman, Janice (Mike Christensen) Elgersman, Sophie (Tim) Otterman, Maureen (Christopher) Elgersman Lee, Carl (Sharon) Elgersman, John (Laura) Elgersman, and Teresa Elgersman.
