Georgia (Djurdja) Erdeljac was born May 3rd 1942. She passed peacefully on August 8th 2023 at Humber River hospital at the age of 81 in the presence of her loving nieces and nephews—Allison, Jason, Andrea, James and Ashley.

Georgia was a beloved aunt, sister and friend. Born in Novi Sad to Elena (Jelica) and Michael (Mihajlo) Erdeljac, she came to Canada when she was 20 years old, with her mother, two sisters and one brother. Georgia and her family worked very hard to achieve a comfortable life in their new country, and they all happily settled in Toronto, Ontario.

Georgia did not have children, but took care of her siblings, Melissa (Milica), John (Jovica) and Lulu (Ljubica), as if they were her own. Her nurturing and motherly qualities eventually extended to her nieces and nephews, and great nephews, who all felt she was more of a second mother to them than an aunt.

Georgia loved to read, cook, and spend time with her family and friends—usually around the dinner table, hosting, laughing and telling great stories, while everyone enjoyed her delicious food! She brought a tremendous amount of warmth and light to everything she did. Georgia possessed a real strength of character, and it was no surprise that her family and friends could always turn to her in times of need and assurance., and her relentless positivity in every situation made her a force to be reckoned with!

Georgia’s passing marks a very sad moment in time for her close family and friends who will miss her tremendously. However, we are comforted knowing that she will be reunited with her father, mother, two sisters and one brother in heaven. Georgia’s faith was unwavering in her devotion to God, and always kept it close to her heart. Heaven has gained a wonderful new angel!

Visitation will take place at Turner & Porter, 2357 Bloor Street West, Toronto on Tuesday August 22nd from 10am-11am, followed by a short service from 11-11:30am. Donations in memory of Georgia Erdeljac may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
