Cosie was born in Clairton, PA on June 20, 1932 to the late Stojan and Katherine Spanovich. At six months old, Cosie received one of the first emergency tracheostomies, saving her life, and giving her the chance to live another 92 years sharing her love for her family and doing God's will. She was a long-time member of St. Demetrius Serbian Orthodox Church. Cosie's life revolved around
God, her husband Dan, family, her Serbian church and heritage. She was a member of Kolo Srpski Sestara and the Church Choir. "Cosie, Mom, Baba, Harriet" loved Serbian dancing, her Pittsburgh roots, the Steelers, Western movies, and crossword puzzles. She was an outstanding cook and shared her talents with her family and friends. Mom came from a heritage of faith, and we are to cherish and water those roots. Mom's advice was to Love God with all your heart. Love one another. Do good and Be Good!
In addition to her parents, Cosie was preceded in death by her husband Danilo in 1985; sisters Mary Drnach and Gloria DeMedio. She is survived by her children Steven (Jodi) & Stefanie Shatrich; grandchildren Danielle, Maria, Jenna, & Nicholas Shatrich, great-grandson Lennox; brother Nick (Joanne) Spanovich, along with a host of nieces & nephews.
