She was the devoted wife of Blagota Djurovic. Jelena was a loving mother to Natasha( Claude) & Bosko ( Samah), who were the center of her world, and she was blessed with 5 grandchildren , Katarina (Gregoire), Filip, Sasha, Ben & Maya who brought her immense joy and happiness. She was a proud Aunt of her nieces, Gordana Bozovic, Elizabeth (Jake) Fuelhart and Matthew Filipovic, her sister-in-law Mira Filipovic and 3 great nieces and one great nephew. She held a special place for all of the Djurovic Family in Canada & Montenegro.
Jelena was a beacon of light in the lives of all who knew her. She was a woman of great strength, compassion, and love, who touched the hearts of everyone who crossed her path. She lived a life full of purpose and meaning, dedicating herself to her family, friends, and community. Jelena's warmth and kindness knew no bounds. In addition to her role as a loving mother, aunt and grandmother, Jelena was a pillar of her community.
