It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Gorica Popović, who left this world peacefully at her home in Toronto, Ontario, on October 15, 2025, at the age of 76.
Born in Gadžin Han, Serbia, on October 9, 1949, Gorica lived a life marked by grace, quiet strength, and unwavering love for those around her. She emigrated to Canada seeking a better life for her family and carried with her the warmth and wisdom of her homeland, touching the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Gorica was a devoted mother to Marko, whom she raised with deep love and gentle guidance, and a doting grandmother to Nikola, whose laughter and milestones brought her endless joy. Her family was the centre of her world, and she gave of herself freely—always with a kind word, a helping hand, and her signature sense of humour that could light up any room.
Those who knew Gorica will remember her selflessness, her compassion, and the way she always found time to care for others. Whether sharing stories over coffee, offering comfort in times of need, or simply being present, Gorica made people feel seen, heard, and loved.
She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, resilience, and joy. Though her absence leaves a void in the hearts of those who loved her, the memories she created and the love she gave will live on.
A private memorial will be held with close family and friends to celebrate her life and honour the incredible woman she was.
She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
May she rest in peace.
❤️
