She is survived by three sons, Dennis (Anne), Bill, Allan (Pat) six grandsons; one granddaughter; six great-grandsons; and one great-granddaughter; her sisters, Marge and Nonie. Josephine married Ed in 1939 in Winnipeg, then moved to Rainy River to start their life together. In 1959 they returned to Winnipeg. Josephine worked in retail and became a very active member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Transcona Legion, serving as president and past president, and was also active at St. Joseph the Worker Church.
