Besides having a career as a terrific housewife, the best #1 mom, grandma and great-grandma, she was a generous and giving volunteer. She volunteered her time in taking charge of distributing commodities for the southeast area for a great number of years. For many, many years she helped numerous elderly women with daily chores, doctor and grocery visits, etc. Josie was also quite an artist at repairing and restoring religious statues and religious cloth paintings. As a meditation and hobby for numerous years, she enjoyed and loved the work she did on transforming broken, and sometimes unrecognizable religious statues and paintings into their beautiful former images, often leaving them better than its' original state. Her work can be seen without one realizing it throughout many homes and churches throughout New Mexico. Josie and Luis loved being outdoors where they loved gardening vegetables, fruits and flowers. They loved camping and fishing, and they enjoyed visiting with family and friends. Thanks mom for being you! We will miss your tremendous sense of humor, your laugh and your beautiful smile.
