With deep sadness we announce the passing of our beautiful mother, Maria with her family by her side on June 30, 2024, at 95 years of age. Beloved wife of the late Alojzij “Louis” (2012). Loving and devoted mother of Mary Yakopich (John), Ann Brenton (Fred), Mario Zagar (Anne), Carol Diemer (John), and Kathy Quinlan (Patrick). Treasured grandma of Carolyn, Johnny, Stephanie (Shane), Michael, Kendall, Connor (Nicole), Evan (Karen), Ian (Ashley), Ryan and Jacob. Great grandma of Lindsay, Megan, and Chloe. Dear sister of Mario Jeriha of Argentina. Also survived by many nieces and nephews in Slovenia and Argentina.
Maria was an amazing woman and the matriarch of our family. Not only an excellent cook and baker, but she also kept busy with doing many crafts. She was fluent in many languages and was a member of the Slovenian Cultural Club ZVON, organizing many successful Carrousels and other cultural events, leading the women in the kitchen baking apple strudels and empanadas. Maria dearly loved her grandchildren, and they all have fond memories of their time spent together. Maria will be sadly missed by all.
Special thanks to the staff of Chartwell Oak Park LaSalle and the Village of Aspen Lake, and Dr. Jonathon State & the staff of WECHC for their kind and compassionate care.
