Auntie Joie became a favorite to her nieces in Minneapolis and frequently brought them to grandma's farm near Alexandria. Josephine was especially grateful to the Golden Valley Treatment Center where she began her recovery from the illness of alcohol addiction. She continued her recover in the Richfield-Bloomington A.A. community. She became an active member and served on a team which assisted in the recovery process for many others suffering from the same illness.
