Her family announced the news of her passing after a brief illness, on December 14th 2024, at the age of 85.

Josie, known within the Drumchapel community as ‘Auntie Jo’, passed away peacefully at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow and will be lovingly remembered by all of her family and friends.

Josie was an integral part of Pineview being part of the steering group who first met in the early 1990s to look at an alternative to the then District Council’s Community Renewal Strategy, which resulted in the birth of Pineview. From steering group, to committee member, to office bearer and chair, there was not much that Josie didn’t do with Pineview before her retirement in August.

Josie’s hard work, dedication and passion were crucial to Pineview’s development over the years.

Josie will be remembered for her dedication and support to Pineview and the wider Drumchapel community. Josie was a lovely, kind, knowledgeable and approachable person who will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by all who knew her.

The funeral service will be held at St Laurence’s Church in Drumchapel at 9.30am following on to Dalnottar Crematorium on Wednesday 8th January 2025. All are welcome to attend.
