Sophia Poppe appreciated

freedom of Canadian life

Shae

SOPHIA POPPE: 1908-1991.

by Nancy Orr
On a streaming grey November
morning, friends and co-workers
‘pathered at thé Terfaice Cemetery
to fulfill the final wishes of Sophia
Poppe, known to all as “Poppy”.
Zophia (Sophia) Antonieviez was
born in Emilesyno, Poland on
May 5, 1908. The forces of history
changed and pursued her life from
earliest years to her final rest in
Terrace, yet she retained a spirit
that drew admiration and affection
from all who came in contact with
her.
The town in which Poppe was

bom was absorbed by Russia. Her
family was forced into hiding dur-
ing the 1917 Communist Revolu-
tion until 1920. Then they settled
in Kovel until 1928 when they
again fled the Russians. |

Poppe moved to Warszawa in
1929 and in May 1932 married Jan
Andrsej (Andreas) Poppe. Those
were full, happy days in the cul-
tural vitality of the times. But in
time, she and her family became
absorbed in a network assisting
Jewish people to freedom.

In September 1940, that life
came to an abrupt end with her

capture and removal to Ravens-
bruck Concentration Camp, “Days
that have to be forgotten,” as she
would say.

In April 1945 she was rescued by
the Swedish Red Cross and taken
to Sweden, where she slowly
recovered from the ravages of the
concentration camp, and eventual-
ly turned to the field of nursing.

In June 1954, Poppe immigrated
to Canada. Her nursing career took
her throughout Canada as she
worked briefly in Hamilton, Fort
William, Fort St. John, Fort
McMurray and Aklavik. She final-
ly arrived in Terrace in 1965,

Poppe will be well remembered

by ali who came in contact with —

her at Mills Memorial Hospital on
the pediatrics ward, where she
worked the afternoon shift until
her retirement in 1975, and when

she managed the Park Manor

Apartments, where she was resi-
dent manager from 1969 until she
moved to Terraceview Lodge in
January 1990.

“Poppe truly appreciated every
aspect of her life in Canada,” said
her long-time friend Donna
Ziegler. “She felt that those who
were born in this country did not
appreciate the natural wealth and
freedoms of Canada. She often
said how lucky we were to have
such a wonderful place as Terrace-
view to come to when we were not
able to manage on our own. She
loved her surroundings and her
many visitors there and at her
home in Park Manor,”

The memorial service for Sophia -

Poppe was held Nov. 10 at Knox
United Church, with Shirlee Lind-
say officiating and Marilyn Brodie
at the organ. A reception followed
in the Church Hall.
