On Saturday, July 31, 2021. Survived by her mother, Roberta W. Graham (Christopher Casey), Aunt, Sheila Whetzel (Steve Matthews), Uncle, Norman Whetzel (Kristina), Aunt, Deb Matthews (Chey Larson), Aunt, Lynne Siefert (Mark), Cousin, Ashley Matthews (Kevin Brady, Alice, and Adam), and long-term boyfriend, Kelly Kirk. Predeceased by her father, William Graham, and grandparents.
Born in Tbilisi, Georgia, on February 21, 1994. Adopted and emigrated to the US as an infant. Grew up in Manassas, VA and graduated from Woodbridge Senior High School’s Center for Performing Arts program in cello performance. Performed with the Prince William County Youth Orchestra. Attended Radford University and subsequently became a Dental Assistant at Pediatric Dental Care (PDC), until her death. Provided hands-on instruction to students attending the Dental Assistance Training School (DATS).
With a passion for weightlifting and bodybuilding, she spent many hours in the gym and competed in body-building competitions, winning numerous awards. Sofia made friends everywhere. Friendly, intense, active, quirky, and a delight. As we journey through life, we may meet individuals who have a positive or profound impression on us, like Sofia. She lived life to the fullest, was full of energy and kindness, with a positive, confident attitude and discipline, which she carried not only to the gym but also to work. Always willing to provide a helping hand and go above and beyond.
Truly, one of a kind. Memorial service and celebration will be scheduled in the future. She will be interred with her father at National Memorial Park in Falls Church, VA.
Kelly Kirk is a 55-year-old high school nutrition teacher who has worked in the bodybuilding industry for decades. He works as an expediter for the NPC/IFBB (the organizations behind Mr. Olympia), helping coordinate bodybuilding competitions. He's also a competitive bodybuilder himself and runs a nutrition company focusing on healthy keto dieting.
