Sophie Leshikar, 92, of Waco, passed away at a local nursing facility Sunday, Sept. 14, 2008.

She married Frank Leshikar on Sept. 24, 1935. Sophie loved gardening, cooking, baking (kolaches), sewing and fishing. Quite the 'social butterfly', Sophie enjoyed making trips with friends and church groups, as well as helping to plan events and decorating by arranging centerpieces, etc. She always had such a pleasant disposition (was the eternal optimist) and incredible amount of patience. Life brought such joy to her! She was a member of the Berean Sunday school class, Central Presbyterian Church and SPJST. Sophie was preceded in death by her husband, Frank, on Dec. 29, 1987; and brothers, Joe, Henry, John and Willie. Left behind to cherish her memory are sons, Richard Leshikar and wife, Margaret, of Arlington, and Larry Leshikar and wife, Twila, of Hewitt; granddaughter, Amanda Leshikar, of Waco; step-grandchildren, Ross Leshikar, Niecy Coe and Kenny Arnold; four step-great-grandchildren; and one step-great-great-grandchild.
