Marija was born in Susanj, Croatia in the winter of 1938 to Pavao and Katica Tomljenovic. Marija immigrated to Canada in April of 1961.
We had great respect for our mother because she bravely travelled alone on the ship MS Seven Seas to the Port of Montreal. She worked and lived in Quebec to earn money to pay for her passage to Canada. She settled in Port Arthur in 1962.
In April of 1963, Marija married Marko and together they raised their two daughters, Annie and Kathy. Marija worked in housekeeping until her daughter Annie was born. She then became a full-time mom to raise two wonderful daughters. In her spare time, she loved gardening, baking and knitting. Marija loved visiting with her grandchildren when they came for visits from Western Canada.
Marija worked every day taking care of her family, apartments and property on her own because her husband worked out of town in bush camps for many years. Marija had a gentle and kind nature; she lit up the room with a beautiful smile and enchanting brown eyes. She was willing to help others without hesitation.
Marija will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by daughters Annie, Kathy, son-in-law Brock, grandsons Kale and Jett, her brother Ivica, wife Nada, nieces Marija, Lidija and other surviving relatives in Canada and Croatia.
