La célébration de
Mira Maria Juran
5 octobre 1929 –
8 décembre 2020
It is with very heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Mira Juran on Tuesday,
December 8, 2020., at the age of 91.
Born in Karlovac, Croatia, Mira is predeceased by her husband Ante (1979) and grandson Francis (1990).
Mira will be dearly missed by her son David and grandsons Eric Juran (Stephanie) and Adam Juran, her daughter Majda, son-in-law Frank Biancucci and grand-daughters Lauren (Christopher Colamartini) and Madison (Jordan Benvenuto) and great-grandchildren Georgia and Rocco Colamartini. They were all truly the light of her life.
Predeceased by her beloved sister Boza and brother-in-law Josep Bosnjak, dear aunt to Dubravka Supicic (Ronni) in Croatia.
With a strong desire to live a free and better life, Mira, with her two small children and two suitcases in hand, left Communist Yugoslavia in 1961 to join her husband in New York City.
They established fresh roots and through perseverance and hard work, were able to provide their children with the education and work ethics to succeed in their chosen professions.
Mira herself leveraged her knowledge and skills in banking (in Croatia) and her own
exceptional culinary skills to secure her position in Food Management Services within a private
New York City school that spanned 15 years, where she was lauded for her delectable menus and food presentation at numerous functions and fundraising events.
At retirement, Mira relocated to Canada to join her daughter and son-in-law and their growing family. It was here that Mira developed close bonds with a large group of exceptional people whom she truly considered family. To each of you who have made Mira feel like one of your own, our sincerest and deepest thanks for the love, friendship and lasting memories.
Mira’s family would like to thank the staff of Idlewyld Manor who consistently provided exceptional care to our mother and treated her with the utmost respect and attention.
Cremation has taken place. Given current pandemic restrictions, a Memorial Mass will be held at a later date including a Celebration of Life gathering where all are welcome to congregate and share memories of all the good times together, and there were many!
In lieu of flowers, if so desired, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
