Sophie Karon Brooks
Sophie Karon Brooks, 60, died in Scarborough during elective knee surgery on August 23rd, 2016. She was born in in Hartford Connecticut and was a resident of Winthrop Maine since 1986, where she moved from Connecticut with her husband David Brooks.
Sophie graduated from the University of Maine at Augusta and Buckley High School in Hartford Connecticut. In Maine she has worked for LL Bean, H&R Block, herself as an independent tax preparer, and for Bank of America in both Belfast and Brunswick. A transplant to Maine, she loved the state, its people, shores, mountains, hiking trails and artists. She loved to travel and was planning a Paris and London trip with her husband in October, having spent the last year studying French in preparation. She was a generous soul who always wanted to help her friends, coworkers, clients and family. She was a blood donor and a registered organ donor, and would be happy that she was able to help others live.
Sophie was the daughter of Tadeusz and Edna Karon (née Spiewak) both born in Poland who have gone before her, she is also predeceased by her daughter Nichole Brooks. Sophie is survived by her husband David, her beloved and pampered dogs and cat, as well as by her sister Dianne Kowalski, Dianne’s husband Stanley and their children Jackie and Douglas; and by David’s brother Steven Brooks, his wife Anna, and their son Michelson; as well as by cousins, aunts and uncles, and friends.
