Josie was a lifelong resident of Philadelphia. She was a proud graduate of John W. Hallahan High School for Girls and later settled in the Fishtown section of the city to raise her family. Josie loved her family deeply and especially loved being a grandmother and great grandmother, sharing a special relationship with "her boys". Josie enjoyed going to bingo and playing cards, even teaching her own children how to play pinochle. She also loved to sit on her step and chat with the neighbors, who all affectionately referred to her as "Mom-Mom Josie" just as her own family did. She will be greatly missed.
