Josephine (nee Cardi) McGrath died peacefully surrounded by her family on Monday, April 18, 2011 born and raised in Brooklyn, NY where she started her family, later moving to Wayne, NJ and eventually retiring to Bayville, NJ.
Jo, as she was known to her friends, was the founding Executive Vice President of the Passaic County Board of Realtors who took great pride in its growth and was instrumental in crafting the standards that have become the benchmark of todays Realtors.
Jo believed her most gratifying success was found within her family. She met and married her late husband James McGrath in 1957, soon after her family expanded to include her son James F. McGrath Jr, and his wife Marion of West Milford, and her daughters Kathy Eberly-Ovitt and her husband Terry of Hamburg, Sharon McGrath of Marco Island, Fl, Ann Marie McGrath of Wayne, Monica Glattly and her husband David of Hawthorne and Janine Maris of Hamburg, NJ.
Known lovingly as Nanny to her grand children, Daniel, Marc, Joseph, Paul, Stephen, Adam, Juliana, Matthew, Jessica, Peter and Erika, she was never too tired or busy to let them feel her love. Nanny was and will always be the strong foundation on which they will grow.
She was Aunt Jo to her many nieces and nephew and Pep to her sisters Margie Mattaliano and Maryann Daly. While she was mom to 6 children she was mother to countless others who had the privilege of knowing her.
