Giovannina

Morin

Giovannina (nee Hroncich) Morin, 95, of Paramus, went to Heaven to be with the Lord on

August 14, 2023 with her daughter and son-in-law by her side.

Giovannina (Joanna) was a devoted wife, loving mom, amazing grandma and great-grandma, with a heart of gold. Everyone should be so fortunate to have had an incredible role model like her. She was a shining example of love and integrity for our family. Her strength lives on in all of our family.

She will be dearly missed by her daughter Mary and husband Tony, who were always there by her side even up to the time the Lord called her home. Her grandchildren Vanessa (Patrick) and Jeremy (Alissa) were the apple of her eye and could do no wrong by her.  Her great grandchildren Landon, Darren, Sophia and Angelina loved Nona Coca as she was lovingly called by them. Coca loved to play with them and run after them saying "latit cu te" (I'm going to get you) while they tried to escape, laughing that they got away.

Nona was always there for everybody whether it was to make makaruni, lozi, pugace

or just sit and smile during the holidays enjoying everyone and marveling how she and Nono were so lucky to have had such a wonderful family.

Giovannina was born on Otok Susak, Croatia. After spending one year in the Italian refugee camps she came to the US in 1963 with her husband and daughter. She loved America immensely but never forgot her birthplace. She and Nikola enjoyed 20+ summers vacationing on their beloved island of Susak.

Giovannina's lifelong commitment to her Catholic faith was exemplified by her drive to still attend Mass every week even during her final days. She was a woman of strength and character putting herself last to help anyone in need.

Giovannina was preceded by her husband Nikola (2015), her parents, John and Maria Hroncich, her sisters Maria Bussanich (late John) and Antonia Piccinich (late Gioacchino), Guseppina Bussanich (John), brothers  Martino Hroncich (late Antonia) and Anton Hroncich. She is survived by her brother John Hroncich (Elvira) and sister in law Dragica Hroncich as well as her cousin Anna Hroncich who was just like a sister to her. She will be greatly missed by many nieces and nephews, cousins and friends, especially her Bingo buddies.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her name to: Table of Plenty, Annunciation Church in Paramus, NJ.
