Early Life
Sophia Crawford's early life is not described or explained in great detail. It is known, however, that when she and Susan were young, they quarreled over a Sunday School thing that said "God is Love". There was a shower of sparks, and the two parted ways and never spoke again, until Sophia moved into Mr. Albert Crawford's home, across from Ingleside.

Marriage
Sophia Crawford married three gentlemen, each of whom died. At the time of Rilla of Ingleside, she is widowed, thrice.

Activity in Rilla of Ingleside
Sophia features as a semi-crucial character in the book, Rilla of Ingleside. She is most often in the shadows, and has a habit of placidly folding her hands across her stomach, sighing "ah, me!", or calling for Albert. Sophia is not much liked by Rilla.
