Josephine Kline Obituary

Kline, Josephine (Kusky)
TROY - After a long life, Josephine (Kusky) Kline passed away October 30, 2024, of natural causes, at the age of 93. Born in Troy, Josephine was the daughter of the late Stephen and Sophie Usowski Kusky and wife of the late Harold E. Kline, Jr.
Josephine was employed by and retired from HVCC in Troy as an Account Clerk in the Bursar's office and in the finance department for the physical plant. She was an avid crafter of wreaths of all kinds, enjoyed watching figure skating, and going to bingo and flea markets; but the most important part of Josephine's life was spending time with her family.

She is also survived by her seven great-grandchildren: Ivy Nicholson, Charlee Ann Nicholson, Malcom Kellogg, Jake Slocum, Aidan Slocum, Kai Rossetti and Alyssa Rossetti. Josephine was predeceased by her siblings, Frances Leggett, Eleanor Trainor, Theresa Kusky, Genevieve Ryan, Thomas Kusky, Edmund (Bud) Kusky, Stephen Kusky Jr.; and her twin, Joan O'Neil. She is also survived by countless nieces, nephews and cousins.
The funeral service for Josephine will be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, at 12:30 p.m., at the Wm. Leahy Funeral Home, 336 Third St., Troy, N.Y., with Deacon Charles Wojton officiating.

May all the family and loved ones find peace. I´m sending prayers and love to all. I met Josephine in Richmond VA in 2002 at my best friends home, David Kline. My Dad had just passed away and she made me a gorgeous wreath for my new home door. It was purple and made with so much love. I loved her immensely as she was my best friend above, David´s Mother. Then the offer so kind and loving. She would not let me give am her a cent fine in love for my Dads passing. I will hang one today in her honor. David is the most wonderful friend. Like Josephine, kind, caring, and more.
God Bless her soul and may she forever rest in peace an angel above watching over all above and everyone who loved her. I pray this brings comfort to all
Love always,
Patti~
