Josephine Lena "Josie" Amato

I am so saddened to hear of Josie's passing. Being her next door neighbor for several years I have many fond memories of our times together. I am so happy I was able to visit Josie just a few months ago. She was her same old cheerful self and I treasure that time with her. My condolences to Tom and Phil and families.

Aunt Josie was a kind and loving person.
She will always be missed by our family.
Used to tease her about being an angel.
She was and is now, as always.

Josie was such a dear sweet lady that I had the privilege to spend Christmas Eve with every year. Although I am saddened to hear of her passing, I am relieved that she is no longer struggling. Rest peacefully, Ms. Josie. You will be greatly missed.

Josie was such a good friend to my mother, Irene. She always had a big smile and plenty to share when the two of them were together. Every Christmas Eve she brought over her wonderful anchovy pizza. She'd stay for a while and then head home to make Christmas for her own family. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. My condolences to Tom, Phillip and their families.

Josie was a good friend to our dad, Angelo Milani, when they both lived at St. Anthony Village in southeast Portland. We remember her many kindnesses to him, the Italian Festa they enjoyed so much the first summer they were at St. Anthony's, their boisterous, almost-daily card-playing group in the little room off of the cafeteria, trips "outside" to local restaurants to break up the monotony of institutional food, and Josie's gregarious personality that was welcoming to all. Whatever the...

Tom-

I am terribly sorry to read about the passing of your Mother. Please accept my sincere condolences.

I still feel privileged to live in the same home she spent the majority of her life in. As we raise our children in the home they built, we can feel the love Sam and Josie engrained in these walls. The Sprando family

My most sincere condolences. Josie is one of a kind and I have fond memories of her. Hoping time and good memories ease the pain of her loss.
