Memorial minute
Recognizing her radiant presence in our Meeting for the past few years and her historical family roots in Quakerism, we observe and mourn the death of Sofiah Sexton. During her time with Visalia Friends Meeting, Sofiah blessed everyone with her enthusiasm and sense of humor. She was a passionate supporter of racial and social justice, and had a deep concern for the unhoused. Sofiah passed away on April 20, 2023, with great dignity, courage, and a presence in her own passing in a way that taught us to face death without fear. She is deeply missed.
