Obituary: Josephine Cozzi, 91, of North Branford

Obituary courtesy of Shoreline Cremation:

Our hearts our broken by the passing of our Mother, Grandmother, Aunt & Friend. Our Mom was the center of our lives and hearts and leaves behind a legacy of love. She will be sorely missed each day.

She was compassionate, kind, smart, beautiful inside and out and generous to a fault. Mom was an artist, an avid puzzle maker, animal lover, taking long leisurely rides, and loved travel adventures with family and friends. Her light and love for life and religion glowed each day ever so brightly through the ups and downs of life. She always had a positive message and solid advice for all who knew and sought her kind and prophetic words.
