Sofia A. Linsmeier

March 26, 2011 — March 4, 2021

It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of our beloved Sofia. Sofia Linsmeier passed away on March 4, 2021 after a life long battle with Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy. Sofia was born on March 26, 2011 to Eric and Catherine Linsmeier.

Sofia had a love of animals and nature. She loved being outdoors, listening to birds and enjoying the weather. She loved the fall the most, especially when the air was crisp and cool. She would always smile with enjoyment and squeal with glee.

Sofia faced Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy (INAD) with resilience. Though Sofia faced a myriad of challenges that set her apart from her peers in many ways, Sofia made an impact on everyone she met by inspiring strength and kindness. She was a role model big sister and influenced those that knew her to be gentle and kindhearted. Sofia’s influence was like a pebble dropping into a pond. The ripple not only affected the people around her, but also the people they knew and interacted with and so on… Sofia will live on through the memories and actions of those that she inspired. She is dearly missed and will be forever loved.

Sofia shared a special bond with the caregivers throughout her life that provided extraordinary care filled with love and compassion. She always loved how she was sang to, had her hair braided and styled, and listening to stories that were read to her.

Sofia is survived by her parents Eric and Catherine; brother, John; sister, Anne; and a host of family, close neighbors, and friends. She was preceded by her maternal grandfather, John Cleveland.

Konrad-Behlman Funeral Homes has been entrusted with the funeral arrangements. A funeral mass will be held at 11:30 am on Saturday, March 13, 2021 at St. Gabriel Parish, 900 Geiger St., Neenah, WI. Visitation will take place on Saturday at the church from 10:00 am until the time of service. The family encourages all who knew Sofia to attend to share memories and celebrate her life.

In lieu of flowers, Sofia’s family asks that guests donate to the INADcure non-profit group. http://www.INADcure.org
