Ivka worked for Hunter Industries for 41 years as a quality control inspector before retiring.

Ivka cherished her time with her family and would Facetime any chance she had. She never missed her daily phone call with her daughter, Mirjana, when she was driving home from work.

Ivka will be greatly missed by all who knew her. We love you, Mom.
