MARIA "MARI" NOVACICH (nee BAŠAN)
Mari passed peacefully on Friday, June 24, 2022. She was the youngest daughter of Nikola and Ana Bašan of Široka Kula, Croatia. She is predeceased by her eldest sister, Josie Babić, and will be dearly missed by her sister, Catherine Vlašić.
Mari was born on November 19, 1936, on McKenzie Island in Red Lake, Ontario, where her father worked in the gold mines. Her family later moved to Delhi where they had a tobacco farm and then to Windsor, Ontario. Throughout her high school years, Mari loved her time playing on the Walkerville Collegiate Girls’ Basketball and Volleyball teams. It was in Windsor that Mari met the love of her life and future husband, Grga (George) Novačić, who had emigrated from Lika, Croatia, in 1955.
They married on October 1, 1960, and spent their honeymoon in Ottawa. They then moved to St. Thomas, Ontario, and began their family there. Mari’s entire life was devoted to her husband and their children: Anne Marie, Georgina, Patricia, Nick and Donna. Mari loved being a wife and mother.
Her love of family was expanded when her grandchildren arrived: Mitchell Jones, Allison Jones, Nicole Novacich, Brooklyn Novacich and Mali Grga “Ben” Novacich. Being a Baba filled Mari with the greatest joy and pride.
The Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at St. Anne’s Church, 20 Morrison Drive, St. Thomas on Tuesday, June 28th, 2022. Her earthly remains were interned in Holy Angels’ Cemetery, St. Thomas, Ont.
