Josephine Mulder, age 81, peacefully crossed over into eternal life on Friday, December 13, 2013, at Wheaton Franciscan Hospice. Josephine was born in Manhattan, Kansas, on January 15, 1932, daughter of the late Margarito “ Pancho” Sr. and Luz ”Lois” (Nee: Silva) Malanche.
Josephine’s family moved to Racine when she was three years old. She attended Franklin Elementary School and Washington Park High School. Josephine was employed by Hamilton Beach, the Racine County Court House and retired from Gateway Technical College in 1996 after 18 years where she was proud to have been the first lady custodian hired. She had a lifelong love for reading books and watching her favorite shows. She lived her life for her family and especially enjoyed the time spent with all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is already dearly missed and constantly thought about by all whose hearts she touched.
