Sophia LaRosa Ruiz, 21, of Lancaster was welcomed into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior on December 18, 2021 following a courageous battle with cancer. Born on October 7, 2000, she was the daughter of Joe Ruiz and Cassia Cahill of Lancaster.

A class of 2019 graduate of Hempfield High School, Sophia was able to light up a room with her great sense of humor. Aside from spending time with her friends and family, Sophia was also a gifted singer and loved music.

In addition to her parents, Sophia is survived by her two brothers; Joseph and Nolan; and boyfriend Nevan.

A celebration of life will take place at LCBC Church 2392 Mount Joy Road, Manheim, PA 17545 on January 2, 2022 at 2:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Sophia's name to LCBC Manheim or Four Diamonds at Penn State Hershey Medical 1249 Cocoa Ave., Suite 115, P.O. Box 852, Hershey, PA 17033.
