Josephine was absolutely one of my favorites!  Buying from her was a joy.  I can’t truly find the words to describe such a great personality.  She was so proud of her family and was such a kind soul.  Best laugh in the diamond business.  I’m so very sorry for your loss.

I met Josephine at the Las Vegas jewelry show years ago and we became good friends . She was the best and so good at her job . She always had a smile and she made me laugh .
I’m so so sorry , she will be missed and she’s truly a gem sparkling in heaven .

We have known Josephine since her early career selling diamonds in NYC.  We have enjoyed “growing up” with her in the jewelry industry.  She truly went to bat for her clients and was a loyal trust worthy  partner. From fancy parties at Tavern on the Green to fantastic concerts in Vegas, Josephine entertained 3 generations of our family with great style! what a wonderful friend she was to us!  We know how proud she was of her daughters and how much her entire family meant to her.  She will be missed.  We send our heart felt condolences to her family and friends.

I can't find words to express how sorry I am for your loss. I can only say nothing but good things about Josephine, she worked so hard to make sure we get everything needed for our store. She was always pleasant to work with.

Josephine's legacy of kindness and love will continue to inspire us all. 

Please accept my heartfelt condolences, and may your family find comfort in the arms of those who care about you all during this difficult time.

I just wanted to share a moment from the summer of 2025, dancing under the bluish-pinkish sky in Montauk. Spending the Fourth of July weekends with the O’Hara family was always filled with laughter, good food, and happy memories that are forever cherished. Here’s to an amazing, radiant woman who was always smiling while dancing and living life so vibrantly full of love, joy, and brilliance. Josephine, as you rest peacefully, I know your husband and children will carry on your legacy and memories dearly.  🤍🪽

All my love,

Our last picture together at Holy Family’s 85th Anniversary Dinner.

I first met Josephine when she and Francis signed Christina and Victoria up for the Holy Family girl’s swim team back over 17 years ago. My husband and I became fast friends with them. She also was an integral part of a wonderful group of women from HF, that I have come to love and cherish over the years. She was a pleasure to be with, will be greatly missed.

Dear Francis, Victoria and Christina. 

Our hearts are broken for all of you. Your mom was always a classy woman and it has been evident for a very long time that she passed it into you girls. 

Francis, we know she was your best friend. You have always been as perfect a couple as any can. Nothing ever comes close to a love like that. 

We are so sorry we can’t be there for the next few days but please know  that we will genuinely pray for all of you and will continued our support for cancer care and keep your family close to our hearts. 
With all our love and support, Theresa and Danny Sheehan.

Sentite condoglianze per la scomparsa di Josephine Picciotto  alle figlie Christina e Victoria e al marito Francis alla sorella Connie e al fratello Dominick da vostra cugina Antonina e zia Maria
