In 1958, She met Ysidro Castillo, and they wed in 1958, going on to have nine children, Silvia, Ysidro Jr., Ralph, Christopher, David, Richard, Angie, Robert, and Michael. When Josie had Silvia, she decided to dedicate her life to being a fantastic and wonderful mother. Josie excelled at taking care of her children and husband and supporting them through the many passions and difficulties of their lives. Whether that was supporting her husband through difficult times or guiding her children through life's struggles, she made it her mission to improve the lives of others.
