It is with an immense amount of heartbreak that we share the peaceful passing of our beautiful and resilient little girl, Sofia Hazel Lynn Glass on Saturday, November 9th, 2024 at the tender age of 10.
She was born on an early, crisp Sunday morning, April 13th, 2014. Sofia leaves behind her loving parents, Jordan Lepkan and Corey Glass (Cassandra), her cherished siblings Tomas Wayne and Raelynn Marie, her favourite furry companion, Piper, and her adoring grandparents Tammy Pelland (Claude), Sean Lepkan (Andria), Sherry Tambeau (Ron), Brian Glass (Patti), Danny Pelland (Rosanne), and Kim Gies (Ed). Special great-granddaughter to Mary Lepkan, Gerry & Debbie Bouffard, Butch Wikiruk (Sherry), and Wayne & Mary Glass. Sofia was an exceptional niece to Bradley Pelland (Samantha), Erik Lepkan, Sarah Lepkan, Mitchell Glass (Dana), Brianne Glass, Melanie Ross (Adam), Paul Tambeau, Owen Mancari, Gregory Mancari, Olivia Mancari, as well as many other aunts and uncles. She will be sadly missed by her many cousins, friends, and her Godparents, Marina Moore & Theodore Liritzis. She was predeceased by her great-grandparents, Wayne Lepkan, William Whalley (Simone), Shirley Whalley and great-great-grandma Hazel Whalley.
Special Thank You to the following individuals who helped us navigate this journey with a little more ease, Jennifer Barker, Sofia’s EA, Cheryl Stewart Sofia’s teacher at St. Alexander School, and Susan Shoppoff, Respite Worker.
