Milena Krasich passed on Wednesday, March 21, 2018 at Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital, Boston, MA. She was 81 years young. One of three girls, she was born Milena Pandurovic in Belgrade, Yugoslavia on December 16, 1936 to parents, Zivojin and Elisabeth Pandurovic. Excelling in her primary and secondary schools, she became a proud professional before emigrating to Switzerland and then on to the United States.
With her brilliant mind, she worked on projects ranging from naval weapons, to Mars spacecraft, and acoustic reliability. Milena was a trailblazer for women in the electrical engineering field, writing multiple publications, accepting numerous awards, and traveling the world on behalf of her professional affiliations; all this while raising a family of three. Although her work consumed many waking hours, she was an avid pet lover and was never without her furry friends.
Milena is survived by her three children Irena Homsher, Andre Krasich, and Emil Krasich; her grandchildren Julia Homsher and Ava Homsher; her son in law, Dustin Homsher, her daughter- in- law Sarah Ottow, and her ex-husband, Mihailo Krasich. Her beloved pets Mishko. Mimi, and Scarlet have all found new homes.
Formal services will not be conducted in the Massachusetts area. Rather her remains will be with her Colorado family until this summer when she will find her final resting place with her sister, Liliana, at Pacific View Memorial Park in Corona de Mar, California.
