Josephine was born in Brooklyn to her late parents, Warren and Margaret Costantini, where she was raised. In her time of work, she spent many years in the banking industry.
In the words of her children; Josephine loved the beach and 'sunshine on her face'; and she found passion in knitting, gardening and her love of animals. Josephine loved a good time and known to have a great sense of humor, but she was also kind and independent; with a strong trait of unselfishness. She was one funny, cool and hip Nana; but was a confidante who would keep a good secret. Mostly, Josephine loved her family - she adored her grandchildren, and was always, always there for her children.
Predeceasing her is her beloved daughter, Adeline. Surviving are her beloved children - her son, Warren Zagami and daughter-in-law, Bonny; her daughter, Patricia Piazza and son-in-law, Frank; her daughter, Kathleen Harper and son-in-law, Ty; her daughter, Josephine Palladino and son-in-law, Joe; and her son, John Zagami. Josephine is also predeceased by her cherished dogs - Bear, Ginger and Noelle.
