Josephine was the sole proprietor of Josephine’s Cleansers, a dry cleaning and tailoring shop in Woodlawn, Everett. She loved spending time with her family, playing bingo, baking cookies, and making pasta. Her unwavering desire for independence kept her driving and taking the bus into Boston well into her late 80s. She also lived on her own until three years ago. As the matriarch of the Amara Family, she will be wholeheartedly missed – her presence, her love, her stubbornness, and her spunk. Rest in Eternal Peace. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her name to Brigham and Women’s Hospital Division of Renal (Kidney) Medicine in Boston or Chelsea Jewish Lifecare -165 Captains Row, Chelsea, MA 02150 – Attn: Joanne Thomas.
