JOVANOVIC, Vojka

(October 21, 1948 - October 26, 2018) It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our darling Vojka at the age of 70. Devoted wife of 43 years of Slobodan (Stan) and cherished mother of Natasa. Dear daughter of the late Krsto and Katica, treasured niece of the late Danica, loving sister of Djoko, the late Milan, Dragan, Zora and Ljilja. Survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends in Canada, the United States, Montenegro and Serbia. Vojka was the most generous of hearts who brought smiles, love and laughter to every life she touched. Affectionately known as “Mama Vojka” to the countless number of students, faculty and visitors to the Centro Commons Building, she was a very proud employee of McMaster University Hospitality Services for 41 years. One of her biggest joys was cheering on and supporting her beloved McMaster Marauders football team! Vojka was also a longstanding member of the Kolo of Srpskih Sestara Mala Gospojina at St. Nicholas church on Barton Street. Visitation will be held at Donald V.
