SOPHIE SCOUT (nee Hunt)
IKKINAOHKOMI (Sings Softly)
It is with great sadness, we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and sister Sophie Scout Ikkinaohkomi (Sings Softly). Sophie passed away May 10, 2017 in Cardston, AB at the age of 81 years old. She will be remembered forever by herchildren Kelli Wells(Vince), Karen, Nadine, Audrey Scout (Joey); her sons Terry and Morgan, also by her grandchildren Shauna, Dwight, Kyle, Marisia, Lacey, J.L, Lorina, Brett, Tenneil, Jarrett and the late adopted grandchildren Corey Scout and Simon. She is also survived by her great grandchildren Derrick, Corbin, Sophie, Kenzie, Heyden, JJ, Kylie, Kaley, Peyton, Sara, and Brooke. Sophie is also survived by her sisters Pearl LTS, Sheila Hunt and Barbara (Donald) Cotton. She will also be fondly remembered by her numerous nieces, nephews and cousins too many to mention.
Sophie was born in Lethbridge, Alberta to Bob and Lost Bird (Bottle)Hunt on March 5, 1936. Her early education began in Lethbridge, AB and Coaldale AB, later attending St. Paul’s Residential School until grade 11. She started working when she left school, first as a nanny in Granum, AB. In 1980, Sophie pursued her career as custodian at St. Mary’s Residential School until KBE took over. She continued working there until her retirement in 2003.
Along with her late husband, Leo Scout; they made their homestead at Fish Creek starting in late 1950. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who enjoyed her gardening, cooking, family gatherings and travelling. Sophie was not afraid to get her hands dirty when digging up the soil for her trees and shrubs. She loved gardening as she planted many beautiful flowers around their house. Family visiting would comment on her landscaping and gardening skills. Her hard work was evident with her beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers. Sophie often reminisced about her trip to Denver, Colorado with her in-laws Mildred Scout and the late Beatrice Big Sorrel Horse. Spending time with her sisters was a passion she loved, whether it was barbequing, playing bingo or just visiting with them. She often mentioned how she enjoyed sleeping at her sister Sheila’s place in Lethbridge as she would give up her very comfortable bed for her.
Sophie is predeceased by her late husband Leo Scout: her parents Bob Hunt and Lost Bird Bottle; an infant son Blaine; her brothers Peter Hunt, Jim Hunt, Bernard Hunt, grandparents, aunts and uncles. Families include the Bottle, Brave Rock, Buckskin, Scout, Hunt, No Runner, Red Crow, Stabsdown and others we may have missed. We apologize for this.
A Family service will be held at the Legacy Funeral home on Thursday May 18, 2017, 5:00 pm to 6:00 PM. The wake service will be at the Senator Gladstone Hall from7:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Funeral service will be held at St. Mary’s Church on Friday May 19, 2017 at 11 am. Interment to follow at the Blood Band Cemetery, Blood Reserve. Father Angelo D'Costa, will officiate the service.
A family reception to follow at Senator Gladstone Hall and everyone welcome to continue celebrating Sophie’s life.

Eyes unto the hills
From whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord,
Which made Heaven and Earth."
