On Friday, May 26, 2023, Anna Sausnock (nee Miravich), known by everyone as "Baba" fell asleep with the Lord peacefully surrounded by her family.

Anna was predeceased by her parents, Michael and Anna (nee Keyso) Miravich, and her brothers, John Miravich (Blandon, PA), Frank Miravich (Bethlehem, PA) and Michael Keyso, (Minersville, PA).  Her husband Harry Sausnock (1998) and daughter Suzanne Bora (1998).

Anna will be dearly loved and remembered by her daughters, Maryann and husband Deacon Charles J. Laskowski, Joanne Lima and husband Peter Lima.  Anna loved her six grandchildren: Julie Klikus and Richard Fackina; Emily Iannotta and husband Vincent Iannotta; Charles M. Laskowski and Theresa Carvalho; Anthony Bora and wife Lillie Bankston Bora; Daniel Lima and wife Laura Lima; and Jaclyn Suzanne Lima.

She was blessed with five great-grandchildren: Grace Klikus, Johnnie Bora, Brooke Lima, Annalise Iannotta, and Holly Lima who regularly enjoyed her lessons, laughs, and love.

Anna will be remembered by many nieces and nephews in Pennsylvania, Maryland, along with extended family cousins in western Ukraine.

Born in 1929 in Minersville, PA, to descendants from Zakarpattia oblast, Transcarpathia Ukraine;  Anna and Harry were married in Sts. Peter & Paul Byzantine Catholic Church, Minersville PA on May 29, 1955. They moved to Elizabeth, NJ, and became parishioners of St. Vladimir's Ukrainian Catholic Church.  With her husband Harry and daughters, they settled in Linden in 1967, and were parishioners of St. Thomas the Apostle Byzantine Catholic Church, Rahway.  She was a member of the Altar Rosary Society and multiple committees at the parish.

Anna was employed at sewing factories in PA and NJ, for 40 years, retiring in 1991 from the ILGWA Seamstress Union. Anna was always happy to cook for family and friends that surrounded her kitchen table.

Anna was known for her sense of humor, compassion for others, generosity, and her wit. She was an accomplished seamstress, cook, camper, and gardener who shared her talents and lessons with anyone willing to learn. Anna shared the gift of deep faith and trust in God always. She was very happy to be surrounded by family and friends every holiday. Family traditions, get-togethers, phone calls and notecards were important ways to stay connected.

Together, we will carry Anna's strong faith and life lessons every day. We were very blessed to have had Baba in our lives for 94 years.
