Mira was born in the former Yugoslavia (now Croatia) on March 21, 1938 to Nikoleta and Vice Crnosija. Growing up on the island of Ugljan in Croatia, she worked in the fields, vineyards and olive groves as well as fishing with her beloved father. She often talked about singing in the Catholic church, traveling by donkey and going to dances as a teenager. Her heart was always with her homeland. At age 18, she left Croatia with her sister, Zivka, and emigrated to Brussels, Belgium, where she worked for an aunt and uncle in their restaurant. She emigrated to the United States at age 23 and worked as a licensed beautician in NYC until she met Crest whom she married in 1964. Shortly thereafter, they made their home in Ocean City since Crest was in the commercial fishing industry. She spent her summers taking Tina to the beach while Crest was fishing. She lived in an apartment at the Ocean City Yacht Basin in the sixties before moving to an apartment on 19th Street and Baltimore Avenue. Crest and Mira enjoyed dancing at the Bonfire and spending time with friends at the OC Marlin Club. In 1973, she proudly became a U.S. citizen. In 1976, Crest and Mira moved to their forever home on Keyser Point Road. Her favorite travel spots were Las Vegas, Florida Keys, and Aruba. She loved warm weather, the palm trees, and the glitz. She enjoyed interior decorating and gardening and took immense pride in her home and yard. She loved to entertain family and friends and was known for her dinner parties.
A private burial service will be held at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Dagsboro, DE. Arrangements are in the care of The Bishop-Hastings Funeral Home in Selbyville, DE.
