Miskulin

Darinka Miskulin (née Kanjer), age 95, passed away peacefully at Hackensack University Medical Center on June 11, 2026. She was born April 15, 1931 in Mrkopalj, Croatia to Jure and Vjekoslava Kanjer and was their youngest child, following her three brothers: Ivan, Stjepan, and Josip Kanjer, who predeceased her. She was also predeceased by her beloved husband, Mihovil, and her son, Drazen.

She is survived by her daughter, Zeljka Marusic; her four grandchildren, Christina Vukic (Alan), Steven Marusic, and Alexandra and Victoria Miskulin; and her two great-grandchildren, Sebastian and Siena Vukic. She is also survived by her daughter-in-law, Andrea Miskulin; her sister-in-law, Danica Kanjer; and many nieces and nephews in the United States, Canada, and Croatia.

Darinka immigrated to Hoboken, New Jersey, in December 1969 with her husband and children. She worked as a seamstress and built a life centered on family, hard work, and generosity. She enjoyed needlepoint, gardening, and caring for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Above all, Darinka loved bringing people together through food. An exceptional cook, she found great joy in preparing meals for family and friends, and no one ever left her table hungry.

She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered for her kindness, warmth, unwavering devotion to her family, and the countless memories she created for those fortunate enough to know and love her.
