Marija Salov

With profound sadness we announce the passing of Marija Salov (nee Grbic), our beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, who was called to eternal rest on May 26, 2026, at the age of 73.Born in Croatia on December 6, 1952, she left her home at the age of 18, emigrating to the United States in search of opportunity and a better future. There, she met and fell in love with Ante Salov whom she married six months later on January 16, 1972, an enduring marriage that lasted 54 years, until her death. Through hard work, faith and quiet strength they built a life in Westchester, New York, and together created a home centered on love, sacrifice, devotion and European traditions.Family was the center of Marija’s world. She loved her children fiercely and celebrated all of their accomplishments. However, nothing brought her greater pride and joy than being “Baba” to her nine beloved grandchildren. She treasured every moment spent with them, delighted in their milestones and laughter, and never missed an opportunity to spoil them with their favorite treats, and little treasures she knew they would love.Marija is survived by her devoted husband, Ante Salov, her five children, Linda Salov (Tim Hannigan), Sandy Parent (David), Antony Salov (Jamie), Mario Salov, and John Salov (Kristina), and grandchildren, Gianna and Luca DiMeglio, Danica and Delaney Parent, Jason, Scott and Dylan Salov, and Alexandra and Henry Salov.
