Josephine Remedies Martinez has reached quite a milestone, that of 90 years of a full, well-lived life.
She is the youngest daughter of Steve and Maggie Procell Remedies. Her siblings are Henry, Louis, Frank, Louise, and Steve Jr.
Growing up she enjoyed going to the movies with her mother and her niece Annie Ruth. The cost of a movie was 10 cents at a time. The love of reading was another pastime she enjoyed when not doing her chores expected of farm life.
She attended St. Joseph’s Catholic Church where she never missed a mass or stations of the cross. The only transportation was a local school bus that everyone who lived nearby could ride. In the later years, transportation was provided by Henry Remedies, who drove a work bus that allowed anyone a ride to church.
After graduating with honors from Zwolle High School in May 1947, she married J.V. Martinez on August 9, 1947. They were blessed with six children: Lynn, Lester, Van, Tim, Patsy, and Luci Jo.
