Obituary translated from a Croatian newspaper: May this year we received a very sad news,that suddenly very good known in our community "Zora" number 351 sister Mary Kaydich died who's picture we are presenting for the family,friends and members. She was born in 1889. in Vrbovsko Gorski Kotar (ex. Yugoslavia). In this country she came as a litlle girl with her mother Ana and her father Anton, they come to Pittsburgh,Pa. Life at that time was very hard. Family was growing very fast. Anton and Ana had pretty soon four more kids, two daughters and two sons. Mary got two sisters and two brothers. Parents were fighting for the life of the kids because they were the happiness in their life. Suddenly that happiness did not last that long. 1903, something unpredictable happened, when the mother was cleaning gas lamps, she spilled the gas on herself and she burned herself very bad. After couple of weeks in the hospital she died. Father was left with five kids. Mary was only 14. From the rest of the kids, the oldest was seven and the youngest was six months old. Since then Mary wasn't just the sister for them, she was also a mother too. Father and her were taking care of the siblings. After a while in result of his love for his wife he died. Therefore Mary was left alone with the siblings. Mary got married in Farrellu, Pa. to well known business man Bane Kaydich. Not even the marriage made her happy. After a couple of years her young husband got tuberculoses and died. Mary was widow. She never got married again. She lived of her work.

Year, 1931 she moved to Detroit and belonged to a group called Zora under number 54. Were she worked different kind of important jobs. Because of laid off she moved out of Detroit but later returned and stayed till she died. In our group Zora and Zvijezda she was a very important member with Milan Milakovic who was the leader of the club.We ware very impressed with her hard work.She was fluent in both languages,and none of us remembered to give her an honor for that.Her personality was very impressive.

Our president, brother John Badovinac was also present at the time,which happen first sunday in April. He noticed that it was spoken in croatian and english language there fore he asked sister Kaydich for help. She was also a member of retirement club,where she worked as a chaser.
