Renate Bojic

Bojic, Renate (Nee Kalk) Passed away peacefully on October 6, 2009, at the age of 88. Beloved wife of Marko Bojic, devoted mother to Christine (Bill) O'Meally and Caroline (Brent Carbone) Cremia, and adoring grandmother of Jessica Reese and Tyler Mark Carbone. Survived by friends and relatives across Europe, Canada and the United States. Born in Estonia, Renate escaped to Germany during the Soviet occupation of 1944. After the war, she met her husband Marko, who had also left his native Slovenia rather than live under Communist rule, and they were married at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Milwaukee on November 22, 1952. A U.S. citizen since 1956, she was a patriotic American from the moment she arrived in the U.S. in 1950. Renate was an enthusiastic fan of her adopted city of Milwaukee, where she lived for 57 years before moving to Cape Coral, FL, to be close to her beloved grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at the Rehabilitation and Health Care Center of Cape Coral, 2629 Del Prado Blvd. S, Cape Coral, FL 33904, on November 13, 2009.
