Josephine Antonia Price, 92, died early Monday morning, Dec. 22, 2014, at her home in Show Low following a brief illness. Private services were held.
She was born on March 29, 1922, in Cameron, Texas, to the late Joseph and Antonia (Slovak) Hubnik. Josephine was one of seven children, including one who survives her, Jodie Frank Hubnik, who is 80 years old and lives in Gilmer, Texas.
Josephine married Marvin Lee Price Sr. on Oct. 3, 1938, in Harlingen, Texas. They were married nearly 70 years at the time of his death in 2008. They lived in Harlingen, McAllen, Falfurrias and Corpus Christi, Texas, before moving to Arizona in 1973, where she has since resided.
She became one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in March 1953 while living in Corpus Christi, Texas. Upon moving to Arizona, she joined Show Low’s Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses and remained an active witness for Him until her death. She dedicated her life to teach others about the Bible, and has accumulated a number of “letters of recommendation” over the past 63 years, since learning the “truth.”
Survivors include her three children, Katherine Lee Price of Show Low, Rosemary Lynn-Ami (Farrell James Ami) of Snowflake and Marvin Lee Price Jr. (Patricia Ann “Patty”) of Holbrook; three grandchildren, Naomi Pearson, Mike Waller and Kelly Price; eight great-grandchildren; and seven great-great-grandchildren. In addition to her family, Josephine leaves many, many friends who will miss her warm and gentle smile.
Owens Livingston Mortuary of Show Low was in charge of the arrangements.
