With great sorrow and deep gratitude for her life, we announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Katarina “Lina” Oldja nee Mohan, on October 13, 2025. She went to be with the Lord at the age of 86.

Lina was born on October 20, 1938 in Simiai (Lokve), Yugoslavia to Panta and Catalina Mohan.
