I met Josephine thru the Veterans Administration. I was a transporter and routinely drove her to and from her VA medical appointments. She was a delight and "full of piss and vinegar"! I left the VA mid 2023 but always wondered how she was doing. I'm saddened deeply by her passing and my heart goes out to all her loved ones.
