On November 1,1986 she was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. She faithfully shared her hope of a wonderful future when mankind will live the way God originally intended with no sickness, old age, or death. Even when she was homebound she would share this hope with nurses and healthcare workers. Josephine firmly believed in the Bible’s promise of the resurrection. She looked forward to the time when she would be able to welcome back her life partner Archie. And if needed be a recipient of the resurrection herself. Josephine loved her animals, her dogs Sam, Bailey and cat Fluffy. She would wave and tell them she loved them every day as she did her walk through the house. She enjoyed her flowers, roses, cannas, apple roses and hibiscus. She also found enjoyment in collecting dolphins and owls.
There will be a memorial service highlighting the resurrection hope on Saturday July 27, 2024. (John 5:28)
