Josephine (Josie), was an extremely devoted wife and loving mother of eight children. Josie was a magnificent domestic engineer and phenomenal cook, whose picnics and party feasts were legendary. She kept an impeccable home and was very creative. Truly a perfectionist in everything she touched, Josie enjoyed sewing projects, ceramics, crocheting... and making a beautifully functioning home for her husband and children. She had a wonderful sense of humor and was very loved by all.
