Josephine Hopkins Memoriam

Today, we remember Josephine "Josi" Hopkins (6/17/1954 – 9/14/2024) ––a beloved woman of God, wife, mother, and grandmother.

Born in Richmond, Josi devoted her life to nurturing others and serving with purpose. She worked in state government and later touched lives through wellness businesses. She also motivated many more as the host of her own radio program, Josi's Inspiration, where she shared her journey as a four-time cancer victor.

Josi was married for 46 years to her husband, Mike Hopkins. Together, they built a wonderful life of joy and dedication to family. A longtime advocate of education, she instilled in her children (Erica, Adrian) and grandchildren (Elijah, Moriah, Isaiah) the value of learning and perseverance.

Beyond her remarkable endurance, she will be remembered most for her radiant smile, her deep faith, and her kindness.

Her legacy of love and resilience continues to live on through all who were blessed to know her.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
