Zora D. Spudic of Seven Fields PA, passed away peacefully on June 28, 2026 at the age of 89.

Born on June 11, 1937 to Katarina and Nikola Kirtic in the small Croatian town of Duga Resa in the then Yougoslavia, She lived a full and vibrant life. After marrying her beloved Ivan Spudic in 1955 the couple made their way to the United States in 1970 and settled in Pittsburgh PA on the North Side, eventually moving to their final home together in McCandless Township.

Together from humble beginnings they built a beautiful life filled with friends and family, music and laughter. She enjoyed traveling all over the US and her trips to Croatia, the Caribbean, and Mexico. Her favorite times were her career with the Croatian Fraternal Union (CFU) and the many friends she made there. Zora deeply loved the United States while clinging fiercely to her Croatian heritage. Her passion was attending Croatian events and music festivals. She was a long time member of the PennSambles and Javor Pittsburgh Music groups where she enjoyed performing with her many friends. Zora was absolutely delighted as her Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren began to take the stage in her footsteps. She was also the Vice President of CFU Lodge #1 for decades and an active member of the Croatian-American Community.

Zora is survived by Her Sons John and Mario and their wives Diane and Linda whom she lovingly referred to as her own daughters, Her Grandchildren: Jonathan, and wife Kathryn, Christopher, Jason and wife Nicolette, Bradlee, Marcus, and Tomis, as well as Great Grandchildren: Jonathan, Evelyn, Willamina and Westley.
