Jovanka Broz RIIP

The Deaths in 2013 site lists under October 20th:
Jovanka Broz, 88, Yugoslavian army officer, First Lady of Yugoslavia (1953–1980).
A couple of things stand out. First there's her twin age of 88 at death, an addition to the "Identical Numbers Sequence" pattern-cluster, and then there's her first name that seems to be a version of John, note the etymology re http://www.behindthename.com/name/jovanka:  
Diminutive of JOVANA:  Serbian and Macedonian feminine form of JOHN
Her name therefore is an addition to the prominent "John/Joanne/Jack/Jones/Hans/... Jovanka..." pattern-cluster.

Despite her position as First Lady and as an Military Officer, much of her life and marriage was a mystery and so there aren't many dates listed on her wiki page, however note the two that stand out:

  •  This process was actually started by Tito's own decision on 21 January 1974, when he ordered the Communist League to form a special commission to look into "the case of comrade Jovanka".
  • Jovanka's last official public appearance was on 14 June 1977, at a lavish reception for the Prime Minister of Norway.
January 21st as per the first excerpt is my daughters birthday, hence an addition to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster. June 14, as per the second excerpt is an addition to the "Off By One" pattern-cluster as in one off from June 13th... my birthday!!
