SAVOY, Mass. — It is with profound sadness and overwhelming love that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved mother and grandmother, Sophie, on Jan. 21, 2025.

Her legacy as a shining beacon of kindness, love, and warmth touched the lives of everyone she met, and she will be remembered by family and all who knew her. Her selfless spirit, infectious smile, sassy sense of humor, and generous heart will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and community.

Born on May 22,1926 in Adams, Sophie lived a rich and fulfilling life filled with love, laughter, and adventure. Her boundless energy and zest for life inspired all who knew her to live with enthusiasm, compassion, and generosity. Her love for her family and friends was unwavering, and she dedicated herself to supporting and nurturing them with every fiber of her being.

Sophie was the daughter of the late Frank and Nellie Pytko of Adams and sister to Jennie, now deceased. She was predeceased by her husband, John Buck, and sons John and Glen Buck. Sophie is survived by her children, Claudia Buck, Lou Buck-Bacon, and Owen Buck; her grandchildren, Gwen Synder, Amanda Bacon-Davis, Cheyanne Thompson; and her great grandchildren, Savannah Synder, Ethan Thompson, Haven Thompson, Ella Bacon-Davis, and Henry Davis.

We invite you to join us to celebrate the life and legacy of our beloved mom, Sophie. May her love, kindness, and generosity continue to inspire us all to live with purpose, compassion, and joy.

Sophie served as the lunch coordinator for the Cheshire COA for a good number of years as a volunteer. She picked up the Brown Bag food bags from Cheshire and delivered them to all the people in Savoy that needed them. She lovingly took care of our dogs when we were away. She did whatever mending to our clothes that was needed. She always had a positive attitude and was a pleasure to be around. She is greatly missed by many.

Sophie was my “go to” lady whenever I needed alterations on my clothes! She was a wonderful seamstress and great conversationalist! I admired her energy and I’m sure she’ll be missed by many! My deepest sympathy to her family!

Sophie was my god-mother. I remember all the good times I had with Claudia and Lou Lou at uncle Frank and aunt Nellie’s farm house in Savoy. Take care. Love you.

Truly a remarkable woman dedicated to her family friends and her community. She was a great visitor and comforter of my Mother( sister of Sophie's mother Nellie) when she was in a nursing home. She visited often and brought great cheer and love to our family. Her involvement in the Town of Savoy"s senior affairs is still mentioned by many of the Townspeople. The love she expressed to her family and neighbors will never be forgotten. John Boyle( first cousin) Dalton ma
