The COVID-19 virus took Josie from all those who love her. She would want everyone to please wear a mask and help to end this pandemic as soon as possible. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 restrictions, the services will be private. Josie will be laid to rest in Resthaven Park Cemetery. Josie’s family hopes to celebrate her life in 2021, when the crisis is over and it is safe for all to gather and honor her memory.
