Winifred “Winnie” Christina (Priemer) Sofka
July 6, 1920 – December 1, 2007
Mrs. Winifred "Winnie" C. Sofka, 87, formerly of Ubly, passed away on Saturday, 
December 1, 2007 at the Fenton Extended Care Nursing Facility after a long 
illness.  Winifred was born at home in Ruth on July 6, 1920 to the late Lucas 
and Anna (Hessling) Priemer.  She married Henry M. Sofka on November 22, 1941.  
Her beloved husband of 54 years preceded her in death on August 4, 1995.  
Winifred and Henry lived most of their married life on the dairy farm that they 
worked together with her family.  Winifred was the Sheridan Township Treasurer 
from 1972 until 1982.  She was a former parishioner at St. Columbkille Catholic 
Church of Sheridan Corners where she was the weekday organist.  She was a 
longtime member and past president of the St. Columbkille Christian Mothers and 
Daughters of Isabella Fidelis Regina Circle No. 608 of Bad Axe.  Winifred loved 
to read and passed this love on to her children and grandchildren.  She enjoyed 
quilting, deer hunting, playing cards in the Crazy Pete Card Club, gardening, 
walking and spending time with her family.  Winifred was always ready for any 
adventure that came her way.  The spunk and spirit that defined her life was 
evident until her final breath.  She will be sadly missed by her family and all 
who touched her life.
