  1. As a former Poteau resident, my husband and I attended church with Josee. She always had a smile and a loving heart. We remember her with love in our hearts. She was an excellent baker too - we recall the wonderful desserts she always brought to the church potlucks. We are glad she is at peace in the Lord!
