With family around her for many days, she was able to peacefully pass away to be with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Easter morning. Sophie was born to William and Hilda Corgey on November 3, 1941 in Corpus Christi, Texas. She grew up in Goliad and graduated from Goliad High School as Valedictorian in 1959.
Sophie attended the University of Texas in Austin, where she received several degrees and certifications over the years. She earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Medical Technology, she then furthered her career by receiving certifications in Education, High School Science and Educational Diagnostician. She earned her Masters in Special Education and Counseling in the early 1980’s. Sophie loved working with children and she served in many school systems: Kenedy ISD, Pettus ISD, Bee County Education Co-Op and Burnet ISD.
While in Pettus, Sophie met and married Jack Schulze on July 1, 1975. They built a life together in Pettus for many years. In 1992, they moved to Granite Shoals (right outside of Marble Falls), to live a life of luxury on Lake LBJ. Jack Schulze passed away on January 26, 2000. It was after this time, that Sophie met Merwyn Foster. They spent many years traveling around the United States in their fifth wheel, exploring and making new friends wherever they went. It is with sadden hearts that we had to face the loss of Merwyn on March 28, 2020 due to a battle with Pancreatic Cancer.
Sophie had an infectious laugh and smile. She loved and enjoyed life to the fullest. Her favorite love was her children and her grandchildren. She never missed an opportunity to spend time with them, always celebrating every birthday and accomplishment they earned. She was affectionately known as “Marmie” to them all.
