Towne, Josie

d. December 4, 2016


Josie H. Towne, 97, of Waupun, went to be with her Savior on Sunday, December 4, 2016 at The Christian Home and Rehabilitation Center in Waupun.

Josie was born July 28, 1919 in the town of Alto, the daughter of Bert and Edna TerBeest Boerson. Josie grew up on a farm in the Alto area and attended Alto Reformed Church where she was baptized and made her confession of faith. On August 28, 1947 she married Clyde M. Towne at Alto Reformed Church. Josie and Clyde farmed in the Waupun area for several years during which time they had two sons, Daniel and Steven. They later moved to Waupun where they lived the rest of their lives. Josie spent much of her time caring for her children and grandchildren, attending all their sporting events and concerts, and baking the best ever pies and cookies. She and Clyde were members of Emmanuel Reformed Church most of their married lives where Josie taught Sunday School for 35 years. Josie truly loved her family, her many friends, and her Lord Jesus.

Josie is survived by her sons: Daniel C. Towne and Steven B. (Claudia) Towne, both of Waupun; two grandsons: Aaron (Lindsey) Towne of Mountain View, CA and Paul (Molly) Towne of Zeeland, MI; a great-grandson, Elliot Towne of Mountain View, CA; a sister-in-law, Ann Boerson of Waupun; and nieces and nephews.
