Pictured is a portrait of Jo’s hands on a birch tree, taken by friend Ann Arbor in 2006. 11, at the home she built after moving to Temple in the 1970s. Marilyn “Jo” Josephson passed away Sunday, Sept. “The pay was really bad,” Jo said of her time at the LFA. Jo was also former editor for the Livermore Falls Advertiser during the the International Paper Company strike in Jay in the late 1980s. She wrote for the Advocate, Morning Sentinel and Maine Municipal Alliance’s Maine Townsman. She was a member of the Farmington Grange, “instrumental” in the Temple recycling program, and taught courses at the University of Maine at Farmington. Jo was a dedicated member of boards for the High Peaks Alliance, Regional School Unit 9 (RSU 9), Fedco Seeds, the Franklin County Democrats, and more. Jo’s time in Franklin County was spent diving into every community one can think of.
You can read more of Jo’s obituary at the Sun Journal, which, because you should expect nothing less, Jo wrote herself. She bought 20 acres of land, built her home, grew a beautiful garden and began the life in Temple that has left an impression upon so many.
