Kristina Kovacevic Hitrec Funeral Set for Wednesday
Croatian influencer and Mamin blog author Kristina Kovacevic Hitrec will be buried Wednesday at Rakov Potok cemetery. Her husband Tihomir denied claims that money is being collected for the family.
Kristina Kovacevic Hitrec, the Croatian influencer behind the Facebook page Mamin blog, will be buried on Wednesday, September 2, at 4 p.m., at the local cemetery in Rakov Potok, Horvati. The details come from the obituary her family published after her death.
According to Telegraf and Informer, Kristina died on August 30, 2026, at the age of 37. The Croatian portal tportal, which reported her death on August 31, places the tragedy the day before its own report went up, so the two accounts disagree on the exact date of death by a day. None of the outlets have reported a cause of death.
A memorial mass will follow the funeral at the Parish Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Who was Kristina Kovacevic Hitrec
Kristina was known as the author of Mamin blog, a popular Facebook page where she wrote openly about motherhood and family life. She also organized events, took part in several charity drives, and received the Pride of Croatia award.
She appeared on the show Nedjeljom u dva, where she spoke about daily life as the mother of a large family.
All of this is normal to me. It’s my everyday life, I don’t know anything else. Every day I deal with new challenges in motherhood, like every mother does. I became a mom young and wanted more children. I just want to be a mom and want a big family. A calm, steady one. I always dreamed about it. Lots of love, lots of children. I wanted to build something I didn’t have growing up.
She said at the time, in an interview for Croatian television.
News of her death was first reported by journalist Marin Vlahovic, who described her as a good person who was always ready to help others. He also noted that Kristina often clashed on social media with people who had been systematically harassing her.
She leaves behind six children
Kristina is survived by her husband Tihomir Hitrec and six children: Antonio, Patrik, Mia, Tia, Rafael and Viktorija. According to Telegraf, she died just six months after giving birth to her youngest child.
Alongside her husband and children, the obituary also lists her father Stjepan, her mother Anda, and her sister Ivana and her family, as well as numerous other relatives and friends.
Husband denies fundraising claims
Before the obituary was published, information began circulating on social media claiming that someone was collecting money to help the family and children. Tihomir Hitrec responded publicly to address it.
All sorts of bad information has been going around, about collecting money into other people’s accounts. As Kristina’s husband, I did NOT give out my account number or her account number for anyone to collect money! People started saying that others would take care of the children, the children have a parent, I will take care of them and keep them together so we stay a family.
Tihomir Hitrec wrote in his post. He also appealed to the public to treat the family with compassion.
I ask for compassion in these difficult moments, and that we all act responsibly so the children are protected from bad people and comments on social media.
Hitrec wrote, signing the post with his full name.
When is the funeral
Kristina Kovacevic Hitrec will be laid to rest on Wednesday, September 2, at 4 p.m., at the local cemetery in Rakov Potok, Horvati. A memorial mass follows immediately after the funeral, at the Parish Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. The family has invited everyone who knew Kristina to join them in saying goodbye.
