Adoring grandmother of Marco, Chris, Serena, Alessandra,GianLuca,Isabella,Gianna,Josiah,JoyElena and Luca. Josephine’s strength, courage, and words of reassurance always made everything better. She was the foundation of our family and our father’s rock. She loved her family dearly. She was kind, intelligent, selfless and always there for her family. Josephine was a men’s tailor by profession, but with her excellent skills and ingenious creativity- there was nothing that she could not do with a needle and thread. She was a well-loved member of the community. Her closest friend’s always said that she had ‘hands of gold’.
