Sick for many years, Sophia saw her condition worsen from 1930, which forced her to go to a hospital in Frankfurt to follow a treatment.
Apparently recovered by December, she took full advantage of her strength and during 1931 she traveled to Great Britain, Bavaria and Venice.
But in September, her condition deteriorated again and she had to return to Frankfurt, where she underwent surgery.
It was during this time that the doctors diagnosed advanced cancer and they gave the Dowager Queen a few weeks to life.
After the New Year celebrations of 1932, Sophia gradually stopped eating and her health declined rapidly.
She finally died surrounded by her children in the hospital, on 13 January 1932.

Sophia's body was transferred to the castle of Friedrichshof, where she rested a few days before being sent to the Russian Church in Florence, where she was buried alongside her husband and mother-in-law.
They stayed there for four years until the restoration of George II on the Greek throne in 1935.

After his restoration on the Greek throne, George II organized the repatriation of the remains of members of his family who died in exile.
An important religious ceremony that brought together, for six days in November 1936, all members of the royal family still alive.
Sophia's body was buried at the royal burial ground at Tatoi Palace, where she still rests today.
