Nadas's mom celebrated her 101st birthday. Congratulations to Nada and her mom, Stana Milenkovic. The photos are taken from her early 20s and at 101!!
Stana Milenkovic is the only living sibling out of 11 children. She was the fourth one in line. She was born in 1922 and only had fourth grade level education. She grew up in Bosnian Herzegovina, or formerly known as Yugoslavia. Her father died when she was three months old, so she was raised by a stepfather. Her mom passed away when Stana was 32 years old. She married at the age of 28 and has survived her husband. Her purpose in life was to take care of her children. She moved to Chicago in 1969 and stayed in the area. When she was well in her earlier years, she would travel back to then Yugoslavia for a visit with her family.
