Since her mother died, she has become the mother to her brother Walter, and sisters, Helenand Lizzie, and loves them very dearly. When Walter catches croup and is unable to be saved by Dr. Harrison, she is devastated, and considers herself at blame.

She becomes a good friend to Mary Smith when Mary comes to stay with the Misses Jenkyns.

On entering Cranford, the new doctor, Dr. Harrison, meets Sophy and they become attached. He later asks for permission to court her, and is accepted, but the connection is broken as a result of an extreme misunderstanding, in which two ladies in Cranford both believe him to be in love with them. He denies it, but is not believed. It breaks Sophy's heart, and she travels away, but comes home very ill with typhoid fever, and Dr. Harrison is not allowed to enter, which makes Sophy think that he does not love her.
