Sofie Agnes Zimmer of Blooming Grove died peacefully on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at the Kaplan Family Hospice Residence in Newburgh, NY after a courageous battle with cancer. She was 55.
Sofie was born in Eltville-am-Rhine, Germany in 1956 and immigrated to the United States with her daughter Jasmin in 1985. She married her beloved husband Clarence "Spike" Zimmer, and they were happily married for 23 years when he died suddenly in 2008.

She fought her battle with cancer with hope, great strength, courage, determination and dignity. She was an inspiration and will be sadly missed by all those who knew and loved her.
Sofie is survived by her beloved daughter Jasmin Lundgren and her son-in-law, Eric, of Cornwall, her mother Maria Kiefer of Eltville Germany, and many, many friends.
