With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Sabira, at the age of 92. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, teacher, and friend whose kindness touched everyone she met.
Sabira lived in Belgrade, Paris, Moscow, and Toronto, but her heart always belonged most to her birthplace, Mostar. She was deeply connected to her sisters, brother, and their children, and remained in daily contact with them until her final days. She dedicated her life to education, remaining in contact with many of her former students who admired her warmth, wisdom, and calm presence.
She was a loving mother to Jasna and held great respect for her son-in-law Zlatko. She played a central role in raising her grandsons Goran and Bojan, and had a special affection for Megan, who meant so much to her. Even Hendrix, Goran’s loyal dog, held a cherished place in her heart.
Her great-grandchildren, Nikolas and Ana, were the light of her later years. She adored them deeply, and their smiles, hugs, and excitement whenever they saw their prabaka brought her tremendous joy. The bond they shared created memories that the family will hold forever.
Sabira will be remembered for her patience, grace, and the love she gave so freely. She leaves behind a legacy that will continue to live on in all of us.
May she rest in peace

Sa dubokom tugom objavljujemo da je u 92. godini preminula naša voljena Sabira. Bila je posvećena majka, baka, prabaka, tašta, učiteljica i prijateljica, poznata po svojoj dobroti, smirenosti i plemenitosti.
Sabira je živela u Beogradu, Parizu, Moskvi i Torontu, ali najveću ljubav je nosila prema svom rodnom gradu, Mostaru. Bila je veoma vezana za svoje sestre, brata i njihovu decu, i do zadnjeg dana je svakodnevno bila u kontaktu sa njima. Svoj život posvetila je obrazovanju i ostala u kontaktu sa mnogim bivšim učenicima koji su je poštovali i voleli.
Bila je brižna majka Jasni i gajila je veliko poštovanje prema zetu Zlatku. Imala je ključnu ulogu u odrastanju unuka Gorana i Bojana, a posebno je volela Megan, koja joj je mnogo značila. Čak je i Hendrix, Goranov pas, imao posebno mesto u njenom srcu.
Njeni praunuci, Nikolas i Ana, bili su najveća radost njenih poznih godina. Neizmerno ih je volela, a njihova sreća, zagrljaji i radost kada vide svoju prabaku donosili su joj toplinu i osmeh svaki put. Uspomene koje su zajedno stvarali ostaju zauvek u srcima cele porodice.
Sabira će biti pamćena po strpljenju, blagosti i ljubavi koju je nesebično delila.
Neka počiva u miru.
