Josephine M. Tabacchi, beautiful and precious mother and aunt, returned to the arms of Jesus on Thursday, November 18th. A lifelong resident of New Mexico, she was preceded in death by her husband, John C. (Charley) Tabacchi; daughter, Constance Lee; brothers, Henry E. Umhoefer and John J. Umhoefer; and sisters, Eleanor Watt and Bertha A. Greer. She is survived by her daughter, Gloria; great-niece, Jan Heinen and husband, Russ Gent of Tijeras; nephews, Don Umhoefer (Mary Lee) of Houston, TX, Ralph Umhoefer (Marian) of Las Vegas, NV; and other family members and friends throughout the country. Spirited and adventurous, loving and compassionate, Josephine was happiest in the great outdoors, either on horseback or hiking the trails of New Mexico, which she enjoyed into her mid 80s.
