She played electronic games, knew everything that was happening in a political or news arena, and never missed a trip to Wal-Mart. She was almost always anxious to go if the car was leaving the driveway. It was her body that gave way not her mind. She loved plants and always had our patio full of ivy, conch plants, aloe vera, cactus and anything else green.Visitation will be held from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. at on Tuesday, June 14, 2016 at Kilpatrick Funeral Home of Monroe.

We enjoyed playing many games over the years and visiting back and forth. She was always happy, loved life, and being on the go. She made a wonderful walnut cake! She will be missed.

Have lots of fond memories of visiting Aunt Josephine and Uncle Tom when I was growing up! Two of my favorite relatives to visit! She always had soft drinks and snacks from K-Mart! Unfortunately, had not seen her in years, but it was so nice to read that she continued to have a long, full and happy life. My sincerest condolences, cousin Norma Jean.

.Sorry to hear about Aunt Josephine.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
