Josephine “Josie” Picazo passed away in her sleep on the early morning of October 27, 2020 and was reunited with her husband, Francisco Picazo, her beloved son, Javier Picazo her loving parents, Demetrio Hernandez and Teodora Hernandez, her baby sister, Guadalupe Martinez and her brothers, Demetrio Partida (DP) Hernandez and Jesse Hernandez. She is survived by her sister, Olivia Garcia and her brother Pedro Hernandez, her daughter-in-law Yolanda Picazo, her grandchildren Melissa Picazo, Valerie Deleon, Javier Picazo, Jr, Gregory Picazo and Joshua Picazo, her great-grandchildren Daniel Deleon III, Ian Deleon, Gregory Picazo, Jr, Vincent Picazo, Samuel Picazo, Grace Picazo, Gabriella Picazo, Sophia Picazo, Gia Picazo and Eva Picazo and many nieces and nephews.
Josie started working at 13yrs old to help her parents financially. She held various jobs from elevator operator to different office positions. With the experience working in an office, she landed a job as a secretary at Pioneer Foundry where she worked many years and retired. She would take her grandchildren to work with her on weekends and let them play office. She was a devout Catholic and a member of Immaculate Heart of Mary. Sundays she’d take the grandkids to church with her and right after church, she’d head straight to Piccadilly at Gulfgate for lunch. Before Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, texting and email, it was Josie that you would contact when you wanted to know who was in the hospital or sick or had passed because she always knew. And if she didn’t, she’d get on that phone and start calling around to find out for you. She was a humble, kindhearted, strong minded, giving woman and always willing to help if you needed it. She will be greatly missed by everyone.
