Josephine was well-known in the West Fresno community through the family business. She worked alongside her sister in Rosalee's Chicken Shack off and on for many years.

Our Granny --
We all knew her as Granny, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Even other family members and friends caught on to the name.

Granny loved her family! There wasn't anything that anyone could ask for that Granny wouldn't try to help with. Whether she was handing you a dollar to run to the store to buy your favorite candy, or helping you put a little somethin' on your late phone bill, Granny would be there. She had a spirit of giving, and she gave of herself endlessly.

Granny has not only touched the lives of her family, but of my friends as well. From RosaLee's Chicken Shack to Fellowship Baptist Church, Granny is remembered.

Pallbearers: Derrick Payne, Charles McDonald, Steven McCray, Henry Williams, Jr., Jason McCray, Toney McCray II and Robert McCray.

Service entrusted to the care of Jesse E. Cooley Jr. Funeral Service, Inc., 1830 South Fruit Avenue, Fresno, CA
