Miss Sophie Elizabeth Pfeiffer, age 95, departed this life on Thursday, November 28, 2013. Known as Elizabeth to her Pensacola relatives and Susie to those she worked with in the Supply Department at NAS Pensacola, she was born on June 21, 1918, the youngest of the seven children of Emil Ernest and Sophie Grueninger Pfeiffer. Her first home was Pfeiffer's Bakery, on Intendencia Street in downtown Pensacola, where the family lived on the second floor above the bakery shop. When she was fifteen the family moved to a new home in North Hill, where she resided until entering a nursing home in 2004. She was a life-long member of Immanuel Lutheran Church and a graduate of Pensacola High School. She was employed in a secretarial capacity for several local businesses before she gained employment at NAS Pensacola, where she rose to a high-level position in the Supply Department. She never married, but was a "second mother" to her Pensacola nieces and nephews. She was an excellent baker and was well known among family, friends and co-workers for her pound cake jelly roll and fruitcake. She also loved growing flowers, especially African violets, and was skilled at flower arranging. She loved animals, especially dogs; her dogs were family members to her. |
