OBITUARY
Kathryn
Guarisco Josey
FEBRUARY
12, 1958 – DECEMBER
11, 2022
Kathryn Guarisco Josey, born
deep faith, Kathryn
invested her life and love into hundreds of people who were the recipients of
her prayers. A faithful
member of First Baptist Church Montgomery for over 36 years, where she
sang in the choir, led
Bible studies, taught Sunday school, and blessed everyone she met by her
wisdom and smile.
Kathryn was a person
of many talents. She graduated from
Academy as the
colleagues and her love for
children. Her devotion to her relationships was only rivaled by her
passion for cooking. As an
accomplished gourmet cook, she would spend countless hours
making culinary delights
for her family and friends.
Kathryn counted her
family as her greatest treasure, particularly her son Michael. She was the
daughter of the late Peter Guarisco, and is survived by her mother Norma Guarisco, sister Sylvia
Alford (husband
Randy decreased), son Michael, daughter-in-law Hannah and her 9 month old
grandson Jack. Her life
influence also lives on in her nephews Pace Alford, John Ehrhardt,
Paul
Ehrhardt, and Luke Josey.
As she spoke over
the last several months, as the shadows of her life lengthened in twilight, she
spoke of the smiles of
yesterday, watered by tears. But in the evening of her memory, she always
came back to the love of
her family and the love of her Savior. Always the echos
and re-echos of
family and Savior.
Those of us who loved
her and who take her home to her eternal rest today know with certainty
that Kathryn has crossed
that glory river. Her Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, has called her home.
A graveside service
will be held at
the Stakley
Sanctuary of First Baptist Church Montgomery at
Fond memories and
expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.johnsridoutselmwoodchapel.com for
the Josey family.
