Obituary

Ruzica Banovac, known to her family as Baba Ruza, 82, of Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania, passed away on January 29, 2026, in Sinking Spring, PA.

A funeral service will be held on February 6, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Kirk and Nice Suburban Chapel, with Pastor Dominic P. Pennachietti of Bethel Baptist Church. Burial will follow at Sunset Memorial Park, 333 County Line Road, Huntingdon Valley, PA 19006. Kirk and Nice Suburban Chapel will handle the funeral arrangements.

Ruzica was born on April 15, 1943, in Split, Croatia, to Iva and Mate Sundov.

She is survived by her husband, Andrija Banovac; her daughter, Marija Ivancevic; her sons, Ivan Banovac and Marijan Banovac; her grandsons, Marko and Ivan Ivancevic, Andrija Banovac, and Marijan Banovac Jr.; and her four great-grandchildren, Adriana, Josip, Lucas, and Maverick Ivancevic. She is also survived by her siblings, Adam, Milica, and Nikola.

Family was everything to Ruzica. She loved being surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and she was happiest when everyone was together, sharing her homemade soups. To all of us, she was simply Baba Ruza—steady, caring, and always there. She had a quiet strength and a way of making people feel loved just by being present.

She also cherished time spent with close friends, over-feeding the animals, and took pride in keeping everything squeaky clean.

She will be remembered for her kindness, generosity, sense of humor, and deep love for her family. Her influence will live on through the generations she helped raise.
