She was born December 25, 1919 to Ludwicka Pekala and Ignatius Blonski and raised in Hazleton, Pa. One of nine children, she moved to Danbury, Conn. during World War II to raise a growing family while her beloved husband Pasquale Esposito served in the U.S. Navy.
Josephine was an incredibly devoted mother to five children: Ronald (deceased), Gerald, Arnold, Joyce (Rener), and Patrick and a loving grandmother and aunt to many.
An avid bird enthusiast, passionate gardener and tireless homemaker, Josephine spent many happy hours making Christmas pierogies and other Polish treats for family and friends. She loved music and a good laugh as much as a heated debate.
Josephine was a strong, polished and fiercely determined woman. We will miss her every day.
