Josephine loved her family and was loved in return. She found great joy in the simplest things, but her greatest joy was family. She was a lover of flowers, animals and all things of the light. Always with a smile on her face and a kind word to greet you, she set a positive example for others. She was a strong, courageous and gentle woman who brought out the good in all those who were near and dear to her. With her warm heart and gentle spirit she was a good neighbor and friend. She will be remembered for her generous nature, her love for family and friends and her steadfast faith in God.
