My mom Marija, always spoke highly of Maria. Telling stories of how they came to live in America and all lived together. How they all called each other family (Kumovi). Your gentle nature and sweetness will be missed. Sending prayers of comfort to her 3 beautiful daughters, her siblings, and all who knew and loved her. The Lepore, Wilcox, Skibola and Jurlina Family.

Maria was a kind, gentle soul who always welcomed her daughters’ friends over and treated them as her own. I’ll miss her sweet humming as she puttered around her home and murmurs of “girls , girls “ as she served us her delicious sandwich (sang- wich) and Croatian fritule ( frita.) I also loved her edgier side and wise adages of “ I don’t give sheet!” and “ they have enough chicken.” I often murmur these phrases in my own life and remember her fondly. Rest peacefully, dear Maria and Godspeed as you reunite with Mile in your beloved homeland.
