Not sure what to say?

Josie and I played in a bridge group for over 50 years. I was brought into the group by a neighbor and we all became fast friends. We shared many things over the years but I´m sorry to say most have passed on to a better place. There were eight of us at a time but old ones left and new ones were added and several subs when needed. Josie was loved by all and always smiling and happy through all Of her ups and downs. She loved her children and talked about them often. I met Paula but not...

While doing "Tullar" genealogy, I came across the obituary. So sorry to hear about her passing. Michelle Tullar Wyatt (Richard Tullar's daughter)

I was the Realtor for Josie and Ed. I did 18 transactions with them before Ed psssed away. Josie was a firecracker walking around the neighborhood. She was witty and intelligent. She was one of my favorite clients. So sorry to hear that she had passed. She had a long and fruitful life.

I had tried calling Josie several times, but no answer. I was in Sorority with her for many year and enjoyed her friendship and helped with the fun garage sales at her house. We are close in age. I will be 95 in April and now live in independent living at The Springs in Happy Valley. It is great to have family around to help us in our twilight years. Marie

All of us at Pacific NW Truck Museum loved Josie. Great personality, sense of humor, always so positive, sometimes serious but it never lasted too long. We worked together, traveled together, played together. I am so thankful for the special memories, what a special lady.

Many, many happy memories! I greatly miss you, love you dearly and bless you! Sandra Greer- Herzog (Out Back)

I can attest that Josie was an amazing ball of energy and interests as described in this lovely obituary. Her energy and spirit live on in her daughter Paula (dear friend of 33 years). Susan B.

I feel as though I knew Josie---my friend Paula talked about her often. She seemed to embody so many amazing qualities and passed her enthusiasm for life on to Paula (in addition to her prowess as a handy woman). May her heart float gently among the stars.
