A 1983 graduate of Newark Memorial High school, Josie earned her A.A. degree from Chabot College in 1994 and her Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree from California State University, Hayward in 1997. Josie had a thriving 20+ year career in the tech industry as an executive Admin, spending 10 years with Sun Microsystems.

A very loving person with a gigantic heart, Josie brought joy to all she came in contact with. Among Josie’s many adventures were skydiving, white-water rafting, hiking, road trips with friends, and travels to Mexico and Europe. And visiting Yosemite. Josie LOVED Yosemite!! Josie was a friend to all who met her, and those of us lucky enough to know her knew her amazing capacity to love. She loved the children in her life; she spent many happy hours with them at her pool, at the beach or the nearest Foster Freeze. Likewise, she loved animals, and was especially close to her kitty Pedro, her bird Coco, and her beloved dog, Charlie. Josie will be missed by her family and many friends.

To the entire Bruckner family I bestow my deepest condolences. You know Josie was part of our family, my mom considered Josie her 3rd daughter and Sharon & I saw Josie as our sister. She has been a part of our family since before kindergarten, when Francis used to babysit us. We are all so very heartbroken and can only imagine your pain also, but it is physical. Josie is now in a place of paradise, amongst those who also love her. She will play an important role as a guardian angel and will spread her joy & love from a spiritual standpoint now. We will always love her, she is part of us and always will be forever in our heart.

Josie, You made an impression on me in all the best possible ways before, during, and after I was officially part of the Bruckner family. Thank you for your love and friendship always. I am grateful to have known you and I will never forget the sound of your voice. Anyone that ever knew you has been made better. I hope you have found your dad and my sister, they are blessed to have you now, though I wish we still did. God speed Josie., Love, Laura

My sister / friend JoJoBa, We grew up together, you were first my sister's friend & always around since before kindergarten. We hung out some but in high school we became close, I have to say you were my closest friend, you were my other sister. We've been on so very many adventures, you always loved to have fun no matter what we were doing. You were a huge part of our family, always there for the bbq's, birthday parties, or just hanging out. You helped me through some pretty rough times and I cannot express how very grateful and blessed I am to have known you. You have touched all you've come in contact with, everyone remembers you fondly and you are loved deeply. I hope you are happy and enjoying paradise. I will always remember and love you Josie my friend. Until we meet again fathead.

Josie, my beautiful, loving, feisty sister, I will love you and miss you the rest of my days. I hope you know from the peaceful place you now dwell how much you were loved by others, and how much love you shared with those of us lucky enough to call you Sister, Auntie, Coworker and Friend. I will remember with a smile all the adventures we had together...all our river trips, hiking, trips to SF & the beach; so many lovely memories. I will think of you often with great love. God smiled on me when he made you my sister. Forever, Margrit

For as long as I can remember, Josie has been a part of my life. It is so hard to realize that she will not be there anymore. I have Charlie now and I keep waiting for her to call to pick him up from his play date. That call sadly will not come. Josie, I will miss you laugh, your smile and out and out right goofiness. Until we meet again.
