Sophie (Suki) Capanna Brooks passed away January 14,2026 at Aaron Manor surrounded by her family while she waited for her angels to take her home.
Survived by Tina West (Lisa) Jonathan West (Susan) Matthew West (Sinoun Seng) Samantha West (Brian Davidson). Brother in-law Robert West.
Last of the Capanna generation. She is survived by her Nieces and Nephews who loved and adored her. It was reciprocated 10X over.
When Tina and Jon were kids, Suki enjoyed traveling,Thursday night bowling league and going to all of Jon’s games. Baseball, Football, and Basketball. Suki didn’t miss any. Coffee every night with her sister.
She had a will of iron. She hated the water but yet she took swimming lessons for years. She did pretty much everything “her way”.
After retirement she loved to shop for bargains.Thursdays were garage sales, Friday lunch at Durfs restaurant with the girls. Friday night you would find her hostessing at Jonathan”s Choice Restaurant. Always dressed to the nines. Ready to greet her regulars with a hug…. whether they wanted it or not. Saturday mornings belonged to Matt and Sam. Be it an adventure or over to Gramma’s for fried dough.
Saturday evening mass at 4:30pm and she would get there at 3:45pm to get “her pew”.
Each of us had a special relationship with our favorite Suki. She has left us all with memories and hearts full of love.
Suki was well cared for and loved by the Aaron Manor staff.
Mass will be held at Church of the Assumption 20 East Avenue Fairport NY. January 21,2026 at 9:30am.
In lieu of flowers donations may be sent to the Alzheimer’s Association or a charity of your choice.

Sofia was such a class act. She was a member of Assumption Church her whole life and was a devout Catholic and a true friend to all that were lucky to have her touch their life. May perpetual light shine on her.
Aunt Sophie – I regretfully learned today of your passing in January following so many years of us not being in touch. Our family was something very special to all of us (and no one more than my father) while Grandma Ernestine was alive. After that, we unfortunately splintered for a time that never ended to my disappointment. I hope you and everyone might forgive me for my part in our familial breakdown. Time ran out on us in this life, I pray we will be warmly reunited in the after life. I always think of us all sharing so many good times together and never doubted your love. – Nick
