Jo and I worked at Claude Chester in the 90´s. When I think of Jo I think of her beautiful smile, her laugh and the kindness she showed to the students with whom she worked. My sincere condolences to you on the loss of such a beautiful soul.

We were sorry to read of Josephine's passing. She was a member of the Niantic Center School "Class of '52" and someone who always participated with a happy smile on her face. A great lady who will be sadly missed by many.
