Josie P. Towe, born on a beautiful spring day on May 6, 1945, lived a life marked by love, dedication, and steadfast commitment to her family and community.
A proud and devoted professional, Josie retired as a Paralegal with the Social Security Administration, where she served with integrity and compassion throughout her career.
Josie was the loving mother of three children: Tia Freeman, Andre Towe, and Kimberly Boyd. She was also the cherished grandmother of five: Joshua Freeman, Onyx Boyd (deceased July 13, 2023), Morgan Towe, Courtney Boyd, and Sage Freeman.
She is survived by her brother, Joe White; her sisters, Joyce "Sissy" Mack and Leola Mathews; and a host of nieces, nephews, and many other loved ones who will forever remember her warmth, generosity, and unwavering strength.
Josie's legacy lives on in the hearts of all who knew her—through the family she nurtured, the friendships she cherished, and the kindness she shared so freely.
