Sophie Benson Obituary

The passing of Sophie Benson of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, born in Dover, New Jersey leaves a void in the hearts of many, as we bid farewell to a loving soul who departed on May 25, 2026 at the age of 92. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Sophie Benson to show support.

As we bid Sophie farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Sophie is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

She was predeceased by: her husband Donald Richard Benson; and her parents, George Zadelis and Ariadne Zadelis. She is survived by: her children, Laurie Benson, Dr. Melody Benson, Monica Benson Bales, Adam Benson and Valerie Benson Haley. She is also survived by thirteen grandchildren, four great grandchildren and another great grandchild.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made for macular degeneration at: https://www.macular.org. The family has chosen to send donations to American Macular Degeneration FoundationDonate Now (https://www.macular.org).
