Josephine Mary Bravo

She was born on March 19, 1947, in Denver, Colorado, to Isabelle and Pedro Bravo. She grew up with twelve siblings and, from a young age, was very hardworking and independent.

At an early age, she had to abandon her education to help support her family by working in the fields. She then went on to become a home health care provider, a job she loved.

As a mother, she is remembered fondly for her loving and caring nature. As a single mother, she raised her three beloved children. She loved caring for others, and cooking for and feeding her family and friends brought her great joy. She found happiness in providing delicious meals. Josephine made the best homemade tortillas and sopapillas. She was a selfless woman who loved and cared for others deeply, often putting others ahead of herself.

Josephine also loved nature, and the family made many cherished memories fishing, camping, dancing, and spending time together during family gatherings.

She was also strong in her Catholic faith and attended St. John the Baptist Catholic Church until her health no longer permitted her to do so.

She is survived by her large and loving family, including her two loving daughters, Jolene (Guadalupe) Perez and Linda (Gilardo) Batrez; her grandchildren, Ruben (Grace), Vanessa (former spouse Tony), Antoniette (Julian), Billie, Esteban, Erica (Arturo), Emilio, Brianna, and Athena; and her great-grandchildren, Kassia, Khalaus, Kalani, Nylah, Aviana, Ivan, Mathias, Izaias, Neyva, Milliana, Abel, Briza, and Emilyah. She is also survived by her brothers, Pete (Regina), Paul (Laura), John (Rose), James (Triny), and Anthony (Alicia) Bravo; and her sisters, Bertha (Elfido) and Teresa (Pam). Josephine also leaves behind many beloved nieces, nephews, and dear friends who came to know and love her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved son, William Robert Hull, and her sister, Alicia Bravo, her siblings; Andy (Louise), Alfie, and Louie and her great-granddaughter, Mikah. Her beloved sister, Ruth Bravo, entered into rest a mere ten days after Josephine.
