The family lived in Strmen, Jovo acting as farmer and soldier, until October 1944 when they were deported to Thüringen in Germany with their son Mile. After liberation and life in Landshut refugee camp, where their daughter was born, the family emigrated to USA in 1951.

Here’s from Ana’s obituary:
Ana Turajlic, age 89, of Crown Point, passed away on Sunday, September 11, 2011.
She was born on June 6, 1922 to the late Teodor and Janja (Radovanovic) Rusnov in Strmen, Banija (formerly Yugoslavia). Prior to the tragic outbreak of World War II, she was married to Jovo Turajlic - a blessed union that would last 65 years.
On October 20, 1951, Ana’s family was fortunate to reach freedom in the United States, and settled in Gary, IN. She was a very dedicated member of St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church, and its Circle of Serbian Sisters. Also, a lifetime member of the Serbian National Defense Council. After 30 years of dedicated service, she retired from dietary services at the former Gary location of St. Mary’s Medical Center. In addition to her husband, she was also preceded in death by two young siblings in Yugoslavia. Ana was the dear mother of Mile Turajlic of Sacramento, CA and Milica (Richard) Ruzbasan of Crown Point; the loving and devoted „Baka“ of her grandsons: Derek and Matthew Taylor. Also, several dear cousins, Kumovi and dear lifetime friends throughout Ft. Wayne, IN and in the Chicagoland area.
