301 Big Tree Road
South Daytona, Florida


Sophie Kaminski, 79, of South Daytona, FL, passed away on Saturday, June 6, 2015, at her home with her husband Steve by her side.

Born in Poland, Sophie came to the United States in the autumn of 1949, meeting her husband Steve Kaminski, during her family's crossing to America. She and Steve were married for 61 years. Sophie, a kind, gentle, faith filled woman, embraced her role as sister, wife, mother, aunt, and grandmother.

Sophie lived with a grateful heart, always letting family and friends know they were loved. She had passions for cooking, gardening, her grandchildren and her "furry friends", the neighborhood cats and dogs. Sophie will be deeply missed more than words here can say, and our pain, like hers, will one day end. Rest in peace, Sophie. Although your earthly body has run its course on this earth, your soul is in a better place and will live on in our hearts and minds forever.

Sophie is preceded in death by her mother, Margaret Sierak, her father Martin Sierak, and brother, Ted Sierak. She leaves behind, husband, Steve Kaminski, daughter, Mary (David) Swanson of Green Bay, WI, son, Steve (Stacey) Kaminski of Riverview, FL, sister, Aniela (Russ) Hansen of Palm Bay, FL and three grandchildren, Steve Swanson, Green Bay, WI and Jason Kaminski and Jamie Kaminski of Riverview, FL.
