Our beloved mother, Sofia (Sophie) Sacco, 84, of Davenport, Florida passed away peacefully on February 1, 2026, a force of nature and the heart of our family. She was a devoted mother, a loyal friend, and a beacon of strength to all who knew her. A constant source of love, wisdom and encouragement. Whether she was sharing stories or offering advice, her vibrant personality lit up every room. She dedicated her life to raising her children. Her love and dedication for her family and cooking for special events was unmatched.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, she met and married her soulmate, Michael and started a family. She lived with a “never give up” attitude that inspired everyone around her. She will be deeply missed by her loving children, Valerie, John, Angela, and AnneMarie, her grandchildren, great grandchildren, extended family and friends.
