Obituary of Angela Vorkapich

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our loving mother, Angela Vorkapich, who left us peacefully at the age of 86 on February 27, 2026. She is now reunited with her beloved husband, Mike, with whom she shared 62 wonderful years of marriage.

Born on August 21, 1939, to Steve and Smilja Daich, Angela was the cherished mother of Steve (Mary), Patricia Makaric (Brian), Millicent Hill (Jim), Nada Orshinsky (Dave), and Mike (Michele). She was a devoted and adored Baba to Tyler; Brock (Arielle) and Brianna (Jeremy) Makaric; James, Steven, and Meghan Hill; Nicholas (Sara), Alexander (Jordanne), and Matthew Orshinsky; and Michael, Edward, and Angelina Vorkapich.

Angela was predeceased by her brother Gojko (Ljubica) Daich and her brother-in-law Steve (Millie) Vorkapich. She will be deeply missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and all who were blessed to know her.

Angela found joy in sharing her talents in the kitchen with anyone who visited or needed comfort. Her apple strudel, pies, walnut torte, apple squares, soup, kolac, and especially her warm homemade krofne brought happiness to countless gatherings. Whether she was cooking or working her magic at her sewing machine, Angela had a gift for making every moment-happy or sad-a little better.

Her greatest joy was raising her children and, even more so, loving her grandchildren. Whether baking cookies in the kitchen or reading storybooks curled up on the couch, she cherished every simple moment. To her, time spent with her grandchildren wasn’t just joyful-it was the sweetest gift of all.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to her devoted caregivers for their compassion and support.

Visitation will take place at Windsor Chapel Funeral Home - Banwell Chapel (11677 Tecumseh Rd. E., 519-253-7235) on Friday, March 6, 2026, from 2-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. Prayers will be offered at 8 p.m. A funeral service will be held on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at Grachanica Serbian Orthodox Church (1960 Meldrum Road) at 10 a.m., followed by interment at Greenlawn Memorial Gardens.
