Josie enjoyed listening to music, square dancing, and line dancing. She looked forward to her swimming exercise group each week. The most important joy in her life was spending time with her family. She enjoyed walks on the beach.

She will be remembered for many things, among them her infectious laughter, her positive outlook and her joy for life. She left a special imprint in all our hearts and will be deeply missed.
