Josie loved gardening, baking, cooking family dinners and playing many family Pinochle card games. Because family was everything to her, she was very generous with her time and practical advice, leaving us with a wonderful example to follow. She also took much pleasure in listening regularly to the Polish radio program and made sure our traditional Polish holidays were special. She was deeply loved by her children, her family and those who knew her.

She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 52 years, John Korycki Sr., and two sisters, Jean Tauber & Mary Zeszutek.
