Josephine Louise Dulitz, 99, of Brownsdale, Minnesota, passed away Friday, April 17, 2020, at Mayo Clinic Health System-Austin.

Josephine was born Oct. 13, 1920, in Austin, Minnesota, to Robert and Bertha (Reinke) Dulitz. She lived in Brownsdale at the Legacy of Brownsdale (Assisted Living Facility) at the time of her death. She was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Waltham, Minnesota. Josephine lived on the Dulitz family farm with her parents, Robert and Bertha, and her brother, Arnold, until moving into Brownsdale. She was a wonderful caregiver for many people during her life, including her parents until their passing. Josephine loved her church, puzzles, playing cards with friends, crocheting, watching “Wheel of Fortune,” gardening and canning. She made the best dill pickles!

She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Carl and Bertha Alvine Dulitz; and brother, Arnold Wilhelm.
