Josefina DeCastro

Josefina “Sipin” G. DeCastro, age 89, of Wayne passed Saturday, May 14, ,2022.

She was born and raised in Ilocos Sur, Philippines before coming to the United States to live with her son Butch in 1986. She settled into life with Butch’s family in Clifton and later moved with the family to Wayne where they have lived since 2000.

Josefina was a great cook who specialized in putting her special Filipino touch on everything including vegetables and her special Adobo sauce. She was reserved but loved to talk and joke.  She enjoyed watching television and especially enjoyed the show General Hospital and anything to do with Hillary Clinton.

She was the loving wife of the late Ilustrisimo Batac who passed while Josefina was still living in the Philippines; she was the devoted mother of her son Butch and his wife Marilou of Wayne; she was the cherished grandmother of Roger Batac, Ryan Batac (Maranella), Brandon Batac, and Alexander Bes; she was the adored great-grandmother of Raven, Cyrus, and Danielle.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to St Jude Children’s Research Hospital would be greatly appreciated.
