Obituary of Josephine Marie Klein

Josephine Marie Sena/Klein called Jo or Josie passed away after a short battle with illness at the age of 81 in Albuquerque on March 15, 2024. She was born on January 5, 1943, to Joe and Lucy Sena.  She is survived by her beloved children Greg, James, and Monica, her eight grandchildren, Benjamin, Erik, Matthias, Felicia, Chase, Chloe, Emily, Nicolas and great granddaughter Cataleya, her brother Esteban Sena, daughters and son in-law Andrea, Nicole and Mike.

Jo was an excellent cook specializing in traditional New Mexican cuisine and she touched the hearts of many with her baking.  She also shared her warmth, kindness, and unwavering love and dedicated herself to a career in nursing, where her compassion and dedication made an impact on those she cared for. She left behind a legacy of healing and comfort.

A graduate of St. Mary's Catholic School, and crowned Homecoming Queen in 1961 was a testament to her grace and beauty and she was a devoted member of the Legacy Church of Albuquerque Grandparents Ministry.
