August 13, 1932 – June 24, 2012
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden loss of our beloved mother and “Baba”. Born in Ogulin, Croatia, Marica came to Canada with her young family in 1960, making Victoria home for the last 52 years. Marica is predeceased by her parents, Marija and Franje Markovic, and great-niece, Rosie Whitaker. She is survived by her former husband of 36 years, Marko Pavlicic and will be loving remembered by her daughters, Jad Beckett, Susan (Eric) Lott; four grandchildren, Leslie, Kelly, Rowan and Marcus; sisters, Katica, Anka, Ruza, Janjo, Milka and brothers, Miko and Drago; numerous nieces, nephews and God children, as well as countless family and friends both in Canada and Croatia. Second only to the love for her family was the pride in her Croatian heritage and abiding faith as a parishioner at the Sveti Leopold Mandic Catholic Church.
A Prayer Service will be held at Sveti Leopold Mandic Catholic Church, 4081 Gordon Head Road, at 7 pm Thursday June 28, 2012. The Mass of Christian Burial will take place Friday, June 29, 2012 at 11 am, also at Sveti Leopold Mandic Catholic Church, with interment to follow at Royal Oak Burial Park. Condolences may be offered to the family below.
