Sophia Gomez

Sophia "Opa" Gomez, born on December 26, 1963, departed this world on November 7, 2025, to be with Jesus. She was a beacon of joy and warmth, known for her vibrant personality that touched the lives of all who knew her. Sophia's laughter was infectious; one cherished memory recalls her delightful reaction to a simple knock on the wall followed by the question, "Who is it?" Her joyous laughter would fill the room, creating an atmosphere of love and happiness that remains in the hearts of her loved ones.

Sophia was deeply passionate about life, always emanating positivity and enthusiasm. She found joy in listening to music, indulging in Cheetos Puffs, and getting her hair done. Her favorite moments were spent in the company of her best friend, Dee Williams, with whom she shared a special bond and many treasured experiences.

She leaves behind her beloved father, Joe Angel Gomez, and her siblings, Dian (Rubin) Alonzo, Dorothy (Lucas) Tavarez, and Joe (Sabrina) Angel Gomez, Jr. Her legacy continues through her three nieces, Miranda (John) McMillin, Marissa Martinez, and Briana (Chris) Detten, and her two nephews, Jacob Gomez and Benjamin Alonzo. Additionally, she is survived by five great-nephews – Kain Martinez, Kameron Martinez, Andrew McMillin, Aidan Detten, and Elijah Detten – as well as two great-nieces, Grace'Lynn Martinez and Charlie Grace Detten.

Sophia was preceded in death by her loving mother, Grace Gomez. Her spirit and the rich memories she created will forever be cherished by her family and friends.
