Sara Sophia Toews Thesman, known to most as "Sophie", entered the arms of Jesus June 24, 2025, at the age of 105 after a full and blessed life of family, friends, church and community.

She was born in Enid to A.G. and Susana (Regier) Toews on May 9, 1920. The family moved to Nebraska, where she attended school and learned to enjoy playing the harmonica, then back to Enid in her teens where she attended Bible School.

She married Ruben Thesman January 9, 1944, and moved to Kremlin, where they farmed and began their family. She was an active member of Enid Mennonite Brethren Church (Crosspoint) and Kremlin Home Culture Club. Besides being busy as a mother of 5 and farmer's wife, she worked at the Kremlin Café, then the Bank of Kremlin, and later for the Garfield County Election Board until she was 90.

She was deeply loved by her surviving children, Rita Schmidt, Enid, Terry Thesman (Kenda), Pond Creek, Carol Wink (Jim) Meridian, MS, son-in-law, Phil Ruttan, Overland Park, KS, and daughter-in-law, Becky Thesman, Enid; grandchildren, Jake Schmidt, Sarah Brueggemann (Steven), Bethany Butler (Brady), Phillip Ruttan (Jeanine), David Ruttan (Kim), Melissa Digirlamo (Mary), Matt Wink, Brett Wink, Aaron Thesman (Kathleen), Emily Rivera (Luz), Tiffany McCloud (Luke), and Ruben Thesman (Anna); along with 30 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-granddaughter.
