It is with the deepest of sorrows we announce our beloved wife, mother, and grandmother Mladenka Krusaroska, reposed with the Lord on September 15th, 2023. Our beloved Mladenka passed away having received holy communion hours before and having spent her last days surrounded by her loved ones. 

She is survived by her husband, Ilija Krusaroski, her loving son and daughter, Goran Krusaroski and Michelle Mitreski (Kliment) her grandchildren; Isabella, Elizabeta, Gabriella, and Adrijiana Krusaroski, Philip, Magdalena, and Stefan Mitreski, and her great grandchildren, Westin and Grayson. Her sister Luba Kaleska in Schererville and brother Milutin (Dosta) Beleski and Bozana (Naum) Manasiev in Macedonia. She is predeceased in death by her mother,Istafka,her father,Jonce,and her brother, Krste. 

She was born November 4, 1941 in Klimestani, Macedonia. She came to the United States with her husband Elijia and worked at Anco for 32 years, where she was known as a dedicated worker and a pleasure to work with. She created a family at work that lasted a lifetime. She loved knitting, cooking, baking and canning. She loved her annual trips back to Macedonia to visit her family and homeland.  Tending to her garden was also one of her favorite activities, but above all, she enjoyed being in the company of her family. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were the pride and joy of her life, and her love for her family was much too great to be put into words. 

Mladenka had a soul more pure and bright than any other. She truly embodied what it meant to be a Christian: kind, humble, and full of love for all. The hole she has left in all of our lives is impossible to fill, but the memories and love she has given us all will be with us forever. Her legacy is one that shines with the most pristine light, and she will be painfully missed by many. May she rest in peace.
