Baba Šanka Our Baba Šanka died overnight, in her bed, in her home, as she wished. She was five days shy of her 96th birthday. She is now in peace after enduring the struggles and pains of old age and things that go along with it. She was a strong woman physically and emotionally, and raised her three daughters after my grandfather died by accident early in their lives. She worked hard, was an excellent professional chef, a smart dresser (also trained in fine millinery), and always had wonderful stories to tell. She was strict in her own disciplines and was a tough disciplinarian. She believed in education, dedication, and a firm faith in Jesus Christ, God and Orthodox Christianity. She enjoyed her final Holy Communion and Confession a few weeks ago, which I am sure brought her great comfort and peace. She loved her daughters, her grandkids and great-grandkids with all of her heart, and we all loved her back. She taught those around her so much, for which we are all grateful. She was an ear that would listen when needed, and would tell you back how it is and how it should be, regardless of whether you disagreed or desired otherwise. A visit to her home would never go without a scrumptious bit of something she had prepared, and she would always be willing to teach people how to make anything she knew how. She was a unique woman, and even as she became more frail, her resolve for independence remained steadfast. We can only hope to age as well as she did, and to maintain as much control over our own lives. Thank you to my mom who took such great and exhausting care of her in her final months, and everyone who contributed their financial, temporal, and emotional resources and sacrifices to fulfill her wishes. We will miss her dearly. Grandson George Vuckovic
