Read MoreMy brother and I were so sad to hear about Mrs. Willet’s passing. We always looked forward to going to her feed store. She would always greet us with a warm smile...and was dressed to the nines with her pretty western shirts and jewelry. What a life well lived. Blessings to your family.

I am so deeply sad to hear that one of our iconic cowgirls has passed. She lived a long and wonderful life. Josie seemed to never age and looked great up to her final days, and at 102, that's a legend in itself!
She will be greatly missed but will remain forever in our hearts and memories as the one and only Josie Willett. Ride on Ms. Josie, ride on......

Joanne,
I remember so well the summer I spent at the Willett Ranch in Wheeler Canyon, the summer before I went into the seventh grade. That was about in 1954. Best summer of my life! We all, I think six of us, had the name "Ann" in our names, even Alan. Great memories!
So sorry to read your mom had passed.
I loved her dearly! Beautiful lady inside and out.
My love to all
