She moved to Fort Lee, New Jersey where she raised her family and cultivated her cooking skills before settling down in Freehold over 20 years ago.

Josephine lived her life bringing an endless amount of love and joy to all around her and will live forever in the hearts of those who knew her.  Josephine is predeceased by her husband of 49 years, William, her sisters Elvira Albino, Frances Albino and Maria Albino and her daughter, Valerie Morrison. She is survived by her daughter, Claudia and her grandchildren, Elizabeth, John and Brittany.

In the best interest of all at this time, a celebration of Josephine’s life will be held at a later date.
