Born in Brooklyn, NY on January 23, 1926 to Angelo and Angelina SantaMaria.

Josephine also loved her late cat, Greycie.

Visitation will be held on Friday, June 10, 2022 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the funeral home. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 11 at St. Stephen RC Church, 75 Sanfordville Road, Warwick.
