Josephine "Josie" Ziemer

Josephine M. "Josie" Ziemer nee Stinson Cherished Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, Friend Surrounded by her loving family Josie passed into the next phase of her journey the way she lived her life, with amazing grace. Josie was a gentle soul, described by many as the sweetest person they ever knew. Always kind, never judging, Josie saw the best in everyone. She was a devoted Mother, a doting Nana, and a Friend to so many. Josie loved to laugh and to share her laughter with her many dear friends made over the years, from high school at Washington H.S. (1955) to her many years working for North St. Paul/Maplewood School District and 3M. She made and kept friends and touched lives everywhere she went. Josie was truly an angel here on earth and will remain so forever as she watches over her loved ones from above, where she joins her mother, Gertrude Stinson; father, Charles Stinson; and stepmother Florence Stinson. Josie is survived and deeply missed by her daughter and best friend Julie, and sons Fred and Bill; cherished grandchildren Jacob, Grace Josephine, Tanya and Brandon; four great grandchildren; loving sisters Patti Ebertz, MaryAnn Prudhomme (Ricky), Geri Manlove (Wayne) and Georgie Stinson (Annette); special goddaughter Tina Rieger; many nieces and nephews; and so many very special friends.
