Josie attended Middletown schools, graduated Middletown High School Class of 1957 where she met her husband. Don and Josie were high school sweethearts who were married 54 years.

After raising five children, Josie went back to work as a Financial Aid Officer at Holy Apostles College in Cromwell and then worked for 16 years as a Senior Financial Aid Officer at the University of Hartford before retiring in May of 1996. Josie was a former President of St. John's Women's Guild and a member of the Past President's Club of St. John's parish. She was an avid UCONN college basketball fan who loved to watch and attend UCONN Women's and CT Sun basketball games. Josie enjoyed traveling with her husband throughout their marriage and during their many retirement years together, visiting states throughout the US and many trips to countries all over Europe, Switzerland being one of her favorites.
