Josephine B. Putnam, 82, of Palm City, passed away peacefully during a beautiful Florida sunset on March 20, 2022.

Josie was born in New York City, to Margaret and Joseph Bilello, on July 11, 1939. An adventuresome spirit, Josie traveled the world and was always eager to visit a new locale. As her beloved niece Allison recently commented, "she just went!"  With her loving husband by her side, she lived in seven states and one Canadian province, before settling in Palm City and the Harbour Ridge community, which she called home for the past twenty-five years.

A warm and doting mother and grandmother, she enjoyed hosting her family and friends and cooking five times more food than anyone could ever eat! Her days were filled with constant joy and laughter, countless games of Mahjong and Trivia, as well as movies and meals with her dear friends.

Josie was a devoted wife to her husband, William R. Putnam, who predeceased her by almost exactly twenty years, having passed away on March 21, 2002.

Josie is survived by her son Will and his wife Andrea, her cherished grandchildren Margot, Reed and Rebecca, her brother Aurelio (Larry) and his wife Mary, and her nieces and nephews. Preceding her in death was her older sister Anne.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Treasure Coast Hospice ( https://www.treasurehealth.org/ ) in memory of Josephine B. Putnam.
