DeLaTorre & Velia (Barrera) DeLaTorre. Josephine was affectionately known by her family & friends as Josie unless things had gone south, then she became “JOSEPHINA”. Josie loved gambling, it didn’t matter to her if is was in the form of scratch off’s, casino slots or playing poker with the kids. She was always searching for the big win and she would cheat in a heartbeat to get that win. One of her favorite past times was watching westerns over and over again, especially her favorite ‘Gunsmoke’. Josie also enjoyed horror movies and even considered becoming a vampire so she could live forever. She was full of life and had a wonderful, unique sense of humor. Her Menudo was the best on the planet and her Thanksgiving dressing was a family favorite. Family was most important to her and she never passed up the opportunity to be with them.
