Obituary of Anica Saje

at the Marotta Family Hospital, at the age of 74. Anica Saje, beloved wife of the late

and proud Staramama of Liam, Madelyn, Jack, Sarah, Maya, Ben, Owen, and Cole.
Dear sister of Milka, Franc, and Marija. Remembered with love by her extended family
and friends in Canada and Slovenia.
Born in Slovenia, Anica courageously journeyed to Canada with her husband to build a
life rooted in love, hard work, and devotion to family. Nothing brought her greater joy
than her grandchildren and the moments she spent with them, as well as tending to her
cherished garden. She was also celebrated for her cooking, especially her strudel,
which was loved by all who had the pleasure of tasting it. Anica was proud member of
the CWL and devoted parishioner of St. Mary’s Church. A woman of warmth and
wisdom, she will be remembered for her strength, kindness, and unwavering support to
all who knew her.
