The kitchen was truly her domain when Josie was cooking, everyone knew to give her space to work her magic.

Josie’s heart was as big as her talent. She devoted herself to her children, parents, and extended family, always putting their needs before her own. She was the glue that held her family together and a loyal friend to many. Each friendship unique and deeply valued.

She loved shopping with her mother at Goodwills and yard sales, always finding hidden treasures and unbeatable bargains. She had a collector’s spirit and kept everything meticulously organized.

Her faith in God was unwavering. Josie was a devoted member of the First United Pentecostal Church in Eloy, where she joyfully served as a Sunday School teacher. She found great peace and purpose in worship and service.

Josie was also a beloved member of the J. Warren Funeral Services family, where she worked with compassion, dedication, and grace. Her care for others shone through in everything she did, she went above and beyond for the families she served, offering comfort and love in their times of need.

Despite facing health challenges, Josie’s determination and strength never wavered. She lived her life with generosity, courage, and faith, embodying what it truly means to have a selfless heart.

She is survived by her daughters Sheena, Sherri, Khrystila, and Karrissa; her sons Joshua and Juan; her parents Richard and Janie Vidal; her brother Richard Vidal; and her two beloved grandchildren, Haleigh and Noah.
