BRANKOVIC, Milanka Our beloved mother passed away peacefully in her sleep, in her 88th year on Saturday, September 7, 2019. Predeceased by her husband and our father, Zivko Brankovic, Milanka will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Anna McCusker and son George Brankovic. Beloved Nana to seven grandchildren Donna and husband Adam Messinger, Natalie and husband Robin Cunningham, Colin McCusker, Amanda McCusker, Lauren Brankovic, Kristen MacNeill and Mitchell MacNeill. Forever the loving Prambaba to her great-grandchildren Phoenix Cunningham, and Zachary Messinger. Milanka migrated to Canada in 1964 and made possible the growth of many new generations of Canadian Serbian family members to come. Milanka devoted her life to family, friends, and food. She will be missed by many she shared these passions with and truly made a difference with every meal she prepared and shared. Special thanks to the staff of the Emmanuel House for providing Milanka invaluable care and hospitality in her final days. Milanka truly enjoyed the moments she spent in your beautiful garden, home-cooked meals in your kitchen and most of all the support and dignity your team provided her. These moments will always be cherished. A private family service has taken place. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Good Shepherd's Emmanuel House by calling (905) 308-8401 or, donating at
