In addition, her daughter Jessy (Adam) Stansbury lives in Canton, SD. Josie has eight amazing grandchildren that she loved very dearly.

We would remiss if we did not mention Scott, Kay and Abby Semple whom have gone above and beyond with their love and support for our family. Josie was a friend to SO many and a mother to her fur baby, Lou.
Sadly, she was proceeded in death by many-loved ones including her parents Raymond and Marcella Delaney and Sister Diana Delaney Grimsley`. Life, as we know is only temporary and all are remembered, loved and missed. Though there was a loss of a child that she carried with her all her life, Baby Stacy, born and died 1978. “I will tell you something, so there is no doubt, you’re so wonderful to think of but so hard to be without. “Author Unknown
Josie worked her entire life in positions ranging from banks to hospitals, making lifelong friends wherever she went.
Josie’s humor, strength, grace and love for family, friends and life epitomized LIVING LIFE in her final days. These memories will forever comfort us. Cancer sucks and we all pray for a cure.
A donation to the Avera Cancer Center, Sioux Falls, SD will be made by her family. The staff from Avera’s Breast Cancer center will never be forgotten. Their care and guidance made the last 4.5 years more cherished by her loved ones.
