Jo’s hobbies included, volunteering, bargain shopping, “putzing” around the yard, and spending time with family and friends. Jo had many passions, including her faith and devout work with the Ministry of Care at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family, which included 14 grandchildren.

Josephine is survived by her children, Steven (Debi) Anderson, Linda (Robert) Cook, Leslie (Cris Challender) Anderson, Scott (Melissa) Anderson, and Jeff (Michelle) Anderson; grandchildren, Jennifer, Emily, Sarah, Ryan, Sam, Erik, Corey, Tegan, Tyler, Jordan (Kevin) Fernandes, Taylor, Reilly, McKenzie, and Bradyn; and siblings, Mary Dellamano and Mike Romazko.
