July 2, 1948 - March 21, 2020
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our loving family member, Annie Jovic. A strong, courageous, beautiful and adventurous woman who was a light of love and laughter.
Surrounded by her husband of almost 50 years, Peter, and her two daughters Nataša and Tatiana, Annie passed away on a beautiful spring day in Vancouver on March 21.
Known as being the strongest, most positive person many of us have had the pleasure of knowing, Annie loved to travel, explore the city and frequent Nordstroms, and nothing stopped her from getting to where she wanted to be.
What Annie loved most was being an Oma and spending time with her four grandchildren, Jack, Makena, Rhys and Isla. She would look forward to taking the kids to the movies, Science World and Granville Island and always did something special for them. She also loved walking her dog, Buddy, along the seawall.
Annie was born in Blankenberge, Belgium in 1948 and came to Canada in 1975 with Peter.
She battled diabetes for the last 30 years overcoming tremendous challenges, and fought off breast cancer in 2018. Despite this, no one would have known what Annie was dealing with because she never complained.
We are all better for knowing Annie and can learn a lot from her optimism, positivity and strength. She was an angel in life and most certainly is an angel now.
We will always love Annie and miss her dearly. With all our love, Peter, Nataša, Tatiana, Sean, her grandkids, Nedi, Zorica and all her family in Canada, Belgium, UK, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia.
A date for a celebration will be forthcoming.
