Josephine BACH Obituary

BACH, Josephine Marie (Mathamel) was born on April 9, 1919 in Hamtramck, MI. In 1945, Jo moved to Tucson, Arizona and was united in marriage to Cody Bach in 1948. They loved each other's company, their beloved dogs and their summer cabin in the White Mountains of Arizona. Jo cherished life, loved her family and friends, and all animals dearly. Preceding Jo in death were her husband Cody Bach; her brother, Flavius Mathamel; sister-in-law, Lila Mathamel; brother-in-law, Marvin Bach and her Nieces, Kathy Bach and Barbara Henrich. Left to cherish her memory are Donna Bach, her Sister-in-Law in Iowa; her many nieces and nephews and her closest friends, Donna Mobley, Linda Scheck and EvaLena Duveback-Kent of Tucson. Special thanks to Pacifica Senior Living/Tucson and Casa de la Luz Hospice of Tucson for their outstanding and very loving care of Jo, during her final years. Jo did not wish to have any services after death. However, there will be a gathering of friends at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 6, 2019 in the chapel of East Lawn Palms Mortuary & Cemetery for a short celebration to honor her life. Arrangements by EAST LAWN PALMS MORTUARY & CEMETERY.

We lived next door to Jo. She delighted in taking birthday and Christmas pictures of Gladys Best, some of the best pictures I have of her. She looked forward to making a snack for Linda each day. After Gladys passed in 2000, Jo enjoyed each of the rescued dogs I acquired, giving them graham crackers from "Grandma" and taking their pictures. Jo always had a cat to care for.

Jo loved her family, especially when they came to stay a while. Once when unused to our short Arizona dusk, they became lost, and Jo had all the neighbors hunting for them.
