She was predeceased by her parents, Clara and Elli Einarson; step-father Mundi Halldorson; mother-in-law Sigga; brother Clarence; brothers-in-law, Marino Helgason, Dave Rolland. She is survived by her dearly beloved husband of 50 years, Raymond; children, Ray (Lorna), Kelly, Kristel (Rob) Coldwell; grandsons, Joey (Colleen), Bradley Ostertag, Kristopher and Matthew Wilkinson, Nicholas, Lucas and Thomas Coldwell; great-grandchildren, Kurtis and Jaemie Ostertag; sisters, Sigga Helgason, Begga (Kris), Johannesson, Bernice (Stoney) Eylofson, Ellen (Helgi) Sigurdson; sisters-in-law, Mary Einarson, Val Rolland; brothers-in-law, Charles (Connie) and Keith Ostertag; many nieces and nephews all dear to her heart. She had a special brotherly bond with a nephew, Barry (Elaine) Johannesson and adored their children, Keith, Kris and Jody as if they were her own grandchildren. Josie was born on March 28, 1940. She grew up in Hnausa and Riverton. She met and married the love of her life, Raymond in 1957. Together they lived happily in Riverton, Selkirk, Arnes, and Gimli. With Raymond steadfast by her side she loved and enjoyed her family more than anything in her life. She was an intelligent woman with a kind and gentle heart; an honest and true friend to many. She was very fun loving, always up to play a game; golf being one of her favourites. The family would like to thank Dr. R. C. Patel and the staff of Gimli Community Health Centre for their compassionate care during the last days of her life. In lieu of flowers, one may choose to make a donation to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation in her honour. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, April 30, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. at the Gilbart Funeral Chapel in Gimli, MB. Rest in peace Elskun. Gilbart Funeral Home, Gimli in care of arrangements.
