Draga Kuzarevski

Draga, born on October 17, 1940 in Sapotsko, Macedonia, immigrated to Columbus, Ohio in 1969 with her family. Draga and her husband, Zivko, were able to build a beautiful life together.

Draga was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Zivko. Their 57 year marriage was a testament to their enduring love and partnership.

She was also preceded in death by her parents Sterio and Mila Balalovski.

She is survived by her two devoted daughters, Biljana (Peter) Stefanou and Dijana (David) Outcalt; her greatest pride and joy, grandchildren Athena, Steven (Victoria), Christopher (Adrianna) Stefanou, Mikal, Jeffrey, and Peter Outcalt; cherished great-grandchildren Peter, Lexi, and Mila Stefanou; loving brothers Carl (Bilana dec.) Balalovski, Aleksandar (Liljana) Balalovski; and many nieces and nephews.

Most days you could find Draga making her delicious recipes or tending to her vast garden. Draga was also a devout member of her church community. More than anything, Draga treasured the time spent with her family and friends. Her gatherings were always filled by her generous spirit and delicious food.

Draga's kindness and her devotion to her family will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and the many friends whose lives she touched.
