Juliane Danilovich 

Juliane Danilovich, 83, of Union and formerly of La Grande, died Feb. 9, 2002,
at her daughter's home after a battle with cancer. 

There will be a Celebration of Life service at 4 p.m. Friday at Loveland
Funeral Chapel, 1508 Fourth St., in La Grande. The Rev. Doug Hale will
officiate. There will be a potluck afterward at the chapel. 

Mrs. Danilovich was born on Oct. 10, 1919, at Vienna, Austria, to Joseph and
Maria Krula Panek. She met and married William Gschwandtner at Radstadt,
Austria, where she worked in a bookstore. They had one daughter, Gertraud
Gschwandtner. William was killed during World War II when his transport was
destroyed returning to the Russian front.  

Juliane worked for five years in Salzburg as a medical transcriptionist in the
morgue of a hospital. During this time, she married Dragoslav Danilovich and
they immigrated to the United States in 1950. They settled in the suburbs of
Chicago, where they both were employed by the U.S. Postal Service. 

Juliane spoke German, French, Yugoslav and English. She was an accomplished
skier and mountain climber. 

She moved to La Grande to be near her daughter in 1980, shortly after her
husband's death. During her retirement she enjoyed fishing, gardening,
westerns, crossword puzzles, symphony music, books, family and good food.  

Survivors include her daughter, Erika Danilovich of Union; grandchildren,
Krystal and Amber Giambitti and Shawnna and Tony Danilovich. She lived with
her one great-granddaughter, Selena Giambitti. She possibly is survived by
Gertraude Gschwandtner of Austria, who the family has been trying to locate.
Other relatives include her daughter, Brigitte Margiotta of La Grande and
granddaughters, Lisa and Julie. 

She was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Karl and Franzie; and
a sister, Josephine. 

In lieu of flowers, the family suggest memorial contributions to the Union
Public Library through the Loveland Funeral Chapel, 1508 Fourth St., La
Grande, OR 97850.
