With great sadness we inform you of the passing of Marica Mirilov on Wednesday, July 17, following a sudden and brief illness. Born in 1966 in Slavonija, Croatia, she was the wife of Pastor Branislov Mirilov and the mother of Miriam, Nathasha, and Emmanuel.
As a Bible worker and pastor for the Cyprus region, Marica Mirilov confidently shared her joy in knowing Christ with others. It was an intrinsic part of her character to demonstrate loving care and concern for all, with a wish that they discover the joy she had in Christ.
Just before her passing, Marica was in the process of submitting her dissertation for her MA, a testament to her determination and passion for knowledge.
Daniel Duda, president of the Trans-European Division, expressed his deepest condolences to the Mirilov family during this time of profound loss. He shared, “Marica was a remarkable woman, a devoted Bible worker and pastor, and a loving mother. Her sudden passing from stroke complications has left us all in shock and sorrow. Marica’s dedication to her faith and congregations in Cyprus was evident in every aspect of her life. She was not only a pillar of strength and wisdom but also a beacon of hope and compassion for numerous One Year in Mission & Service students and everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Her kind spirit and unwavering faith touched the lives of many, and her lasting legacy will continue to inspire us all.”
