Josephine Bandyk Obituary

Bandyk, Josephine Mary "Jo Jo". January 2, 2023. Age 102 of Trenton. Beloved sister of Frances Robinson and Teresa Gillis. Jo Jo was preceded in death by her parents John and Mary Bandyk as well as by her siblings Ted, Helen, Sr. Mildred, Henry, Walter, Joan, and Rita. Aunt Jo will be fondly remembered by her many nieces and nephews and numerous friends. Her love will live through all of the people whose lives she touched including her "adoptive families", the Brymers, the Kalatas, the Molters and the Petersons. She was cared for and "loved the mostest" by her "sunshine" Sydney Molter. A proud graduate of Holy Redeemer High school, JoJo went on to become a cloister order nun for 30 plus years followed by various jobs when she left the religious order. She dedicated her "retirement" days to helping raise many families. She was a devoted member of St. Joseph Catholic Church of Trenton and longtime resident of Trenton Towers. JoJo was the University of Notre Dame's biggest fan. We are sure she will continue to watch the games on football Saturdays. Mass will be held at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Trenton on January 28, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. with visitation at 9:00 a.m. Inurnment will be held at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Southfield, Michigan. Memorial donations may be made to St. Joseph Catholic Church or Suzanne Molter to be used for a memorial garden in her honor. No formal services will be held at the funeral home. Arrangements and cremation are entrusted to the Taylor Chapel of Voran Funeral Home, 23750 Goddard Road, (313) 291-1800. Please share memories and/or leave condolences on Jo Jo's Tribute Wall on her guestbook.

Aunt Jo! You lived a long faith-filled life. Always counted on you to pray for me and my family! Fond memories as a child visiting you at the cloister with Uncle Ted
playing the piano.
And also writing letters to you as a child. You wrote so beautifully.

And you were the best hostess when I visited you in Virginia and Florida many years ago.
Having such a big family it was hard to get together much....but when we did there was joy and love and laughter.

My hope is you are having an even greater joy - not known on this earth - with Our Father who art in Heaven. And Mary and Joseph and all the saints and angels. I love you. Muah. One of your many many nieces. Rita Marie
