Our beloved mother Nana and friend left us for a better place on September 28th, 2025, at the age of 84. She fought hard and strong against what took her from us. Always able to light up a room with her smile and contagious laugh we will miss her terribly. Born on July 29th, 1941, in z a j C a r, Serbia she met her beloved husband in Milwaukee Wisconsin and made a wonderful Life for herself and her family. Family meant everything to her.

She is survived by her daughters Emilia "Miki" Djordjevic (Dragi), Maria Zora "Mia" Pavlovic (Craig Messner), grandson Petar Djordjevic and granddaughter Dana Djordjevic.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Sreten Bata/Steve Pavlovic, and parents Vladimir Zikich and Zorka Zikich (Stefanovic).

She is also survived by nieces and nephews, her brother-in-law, friends and kumovi, along with extended family in Serbia.

We would graciously like to thank the team at Aurora healthcare's Zilber Hospice for taking such good care of her in her final days. Hugs to those who spend time with her and visited during her final hours.

Visitation will be held on Friday October 3rd, 2025 at St. Nikola Serbian Orthodox Church from 10:00 AM until time of service at 11:00 AM. Interment at Good Hope Cemetery.
