Sophia Josephine Jacobsen, 94, of Columbia entered into eternal rest January 3, 2009 at the Bluffs. Sophia was born October 8, 1914 in St. Joseph, MO to the late Josephine and Joe Motyka. She married Clarence Snodgrass and they owned and operated the Modern Cleaners in St. Joseph for 20 years. After Clarence passed away she moved to Leavenworth, KS and married Marvin Jacobsen who also has preceded her in death. She worked at Ft. Leavenworth and moved to Columbia in 1967 where she worked as Ward Secretary for Boone Hospital until her retirement. Sophia enjoyed gardening, cooking and spending time with her two granddaughters whom she loved very much. She is survived by her son Roger Snodgrass and his wife Shelbia of Columbia, MO, one sister Angela Nelson and her husband Phil of Leavenworth, KS, granddaughters Debbie Simon and her husband John of Columbia and Sheri Hall and her husband Rick of Laguna Niguel, CA as well as a cousin Ted Trela of St. Francisco, CA. Sophia donated her body to the University Of Missouri and services will be held at a later date.
i am sorry for your loss and the loss to all her friends and caregivers.i only new sophia for a year while working nights at the bluffs but i will miss her greatly.
My mother Anna Margaret Fields who passed last January 18th at the Bluffs roomed across the hall from Sophia for a while and that is how I got to know Sophia. She was something else, at dinner when Julia would be helping her we really enjoyed Sophia, very expressive. I know everyone at the Bluffs loved Sophia. I am blessed to have known her.
When I think of Sophia I think of a warm rosy cheeked face, sparkling eyes, and wonderful expressions. I’m sure she was greeting with open arms and great joy when she arrived in heaven.
With Love and Sympathy
My grandma was everything a grandaughter could hope for. I have so many loving memories of our time spent together over the years. As a child we loved staying at her apartment because it meant endless hours of swimming in the pool. I especially loved her cooking. Every holiday without fail, she would prepare us traditional polish dishes. Grandma was a huge animal lover and I have many pictures of her enjoying our family pets. Grandma was beautiful on the inside and out. She was always patient, loving, kind, intelligent, and very curious as the world evolved into the technology era. Grandma always said she was ready to go be with God and we are filled with peace in knowing that she is finally in his divine glory.
God rest her wonderful soul. She still had fire in her all the way to the end. Her character and her kindness will live on with her family. She was so very blessed to have lived such a long and rich life… Special thanks and blessings to the wonderful caregivers for her. I am truly impressed by the love and friendship that surrounded grandma.. she will be missed but always remembered.
“Grandma” as we all called her, was such a loving, warm, person. I never had a conversation with her that wasn’t upbeat. She was a fighter & took life with stride. All the wildness she saw in me, never fazed her. Bless her heart and soul. Her love and tenderness lives on in her family. God bless each of you-Roger,Shelby,Debbie & Sheri. What a great legacy. She is smiling upon us now.
