Margaret Ann Sivanich was born on May 6, 1925 in Youngstown, Ohio. She passed away on April 20, 2019, at age 93, in the house of her daughter. She is survived by her two children, Paul (Lisa) Sivanich and Susan (Glen) Walthall, her six grandchildren, John Brank, Laura (Bryan Sr), Charlotte, Claire, Sarah Beth (Eric), and Margaret and her two great-grandchildren Bryan Jr. and Calleigh. She is also survived by her sisters, Dorothy Kovac and Carol Storch. Margaret was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Brank, and siblings Helen, Walter, Frank, and Richard.
Margaret moved to the Detroit area as a young girl and graduated from Highland Park High School. She worked for Sears for over 20 years, but her life revolved around her marriage to Brank, and her two children and their families who were the great beneficiaries of her loyal and unconditional love and wisdom.
Margaret will best be remembered for her devotion to her husband and her family. More recently at Waltonwood in Novi, where she lived for the last nine years, she uplifted the lives of those around her with contagiously cheerful energy, a refreshing ability to laugh at herself and everyday life, and her daily commitment to vigorously “take on the day.”
Visitation will be on Saturday, April 27thfrom 1pm to 3pm, followed by a celebration of her life at 3:00 p.m. at the Harry J. Will Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association or the American Cancer Society
