Josephine was a joy! She loved to be our songbird! We loved hearing her sing in Italian or English it did not matter! All of you that visited Josephine were so loving and caring! She was fortunate to have such a special family! I was sad to come back and learn of her passing! She truly will be missed!!

Reading all the memorials especially by my cousins Sarajane and Andrea hit the nail on the head. Aunt Josephine was beautiful graceful warm and loving. She and Uncle Joe were the it couple in the family. My love to Celeste Nancy Loriann and families. Aunt Josephine lives on through you and is always with us

Rich has his sweet memories of Josephine, which brings him sadness of her passing. He and Joey held a very very special place in his heart, as we have heard his stories. When I met her, she greeted me with a smile.....and that unending smile said so much to me,....a Slovak,Polish girl going into a large Italian family. Every time I saw her, it was her warming smile, and a little bit of silliness and acceptance., that grabbed me. She was a joy to be with..... And looking at the three giving daughters that she and Joey raised, I am honored to be called one of the Riccetti's. And this holds true for all of our kids. Shirl Riccetti

Celeste and I were texting about Club. My dear aunt is not only reunited with my beloved Uncle Joey but all her sister-in-laws and her mother-in-law Fortunato, my wonderful loving grandmother. They are all gathered around a big table drinking coffee and enjoying cake. I can still hear my aunt's laugh even though it was decades ago. I will always hold happy memories of taking my aunt and uncle out for breakfast or lunch with my mother. I hope all my cousins and her grandchildren and great grandson James find comfort with their happy memories. My dear aunt used to joke that she was going to make me more Italian. I must admit today and for many years I am a fantastic Italian home cook. You continued what Fortunato started when I was 4. Love to you and to all the family.

Beautiful, graceful Aunt Josephine’s sweet but strong soul will be missed by our family. She was always so generous and loving to me and Doug. May she rest in peace with the love of her life and my handsome great uncle Joe. God keep her soul safe for all eternity. ♥️

My prayers are with you all. It was such a privilege to get to know Josephine and take care of her. She was an amazing woman. The love amongst you all was amazing to see. She will be missed dearly. It was a pleasure to get to know all of you. You all will be in my prayers.

“Beep” (and Joe) were such wonderful people and loyal friends to my parents. Celeste, Nancy and Loriann we were all blessed to have such loving, strong, caring parents to guide us when we were young. My prayers are with you all at this time.
