Our beloved mother, grandmother, baba, great-grandmother passed away peacefully on August 23, 2018.

Mother was born on February 03, 1924 in Dubrovnik,  Croatia.   Mother and her family immigrated to Winnipeg in 1948.  She primarily stayed at home and was dedicated to raising her three boys.  She was very devoted, loving, caring, and supportive to her immediate family.  At home, she enjoyed knitting, painting, projects, and cooking.  She spent summers at her cottage on the  Lake of the Woods where she kept busy entertaining, picking blueberries, mushrooms, and swimming.  She travelled extensively and made numerous trips to Europe, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and to Santa Barbara to spend time with friends.  She was a  lifetime member of the Holy Resurrection  Church,  a leading participant in the sisterhood, and member of the choir. Mother will be remembered for her love of family, generosity, her resilience and remarkable strength of spirit.
