Josie, also known as grandma Josie to most was such a  loving soul.....a natural-born fighter such an admirable brave woman that you can always count on to keep it real all while giving you comfort. Her grandbabies meant everything to her. She loved spending time with each and every one of them, she loved cooking their favorite meals and just spoiling them. Being at the beach was her favorite place. She was so creative it seems like there is nothing she couldn't do.

From teaching arts and crafts to decorating for holidays and so much more. She was such a loyal protective sister/friend she loved being home blasting her music, drinking her Captain Morgan.

Our Beautiful Josie your wings were ready but our hearts were not. You'll be forever missed.
