Josephine was a lady of great faith who always had a smile and never met a stranger. She was born on Feb. 7, 1928 in Bryan, attended St. Joseph's Catholic School, graduated from SFA in Bryan in 1945, attended McKenzie Baldwin Business School, and married the love of her life, Clarence Fojtik, in 1947. They were married for 42 years. She was a loving mother and homemaker for years and was employed by Texas A&M's Athletic Department from 1982 – 1994. She loved her Aggie football! Everyone looked to her as a counselor/mentor. She was an active member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church which she loved. Some of her involvements were: The Rosary Society, the Alter Society, the Women's Guild, KJZT Society, the funeral meal committee, Age Managers, and was seen almost daily in the Adoration Prayer Chapel until her stroke in Jan. 2010. As a Eucharist Minister she delivered Communion at St. Joseph's hospital for many years. She loved Jesus, her family and friends and was a powerful prayer warrior for anyone who asked.
