Josephine "Jackie" Johnn

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved mother, Josephine Johnn, on September 26, 2026, at the age of 83. Born on November 12, 1942, Josephine lived a life filled with love for her family and friends, and joy living in the Smithtown community that she was proud to call home.

Josephine loved working in the Town of Smithtown Engineering Department and being an active member of the Smithtown Republican Party. She took great pride in being part of the town and formed many lasting friendships throughout her years there. She was a devoted Roman Catholic who attended weekly Novenas for many years to pray for those she loved and for those in need.

Josephine is survived by her son, William Fitzgerald and his wife, Colleen; her daughter, Cynthia Phillips and her husband, Talcott; her son, John Fitzgerald and his wife, Michelle; and her beloved grandchildren, Kyle, Jenna, Ryan, Jordan, Isabella, Nicco, Dean, and Grace.

She was predeceased by her husband, Richard Anthony Johnn; her son, Brian Fitzgerald; her parents, Giacomo DeStefano and Mary (Cavone) DeStefano; and her brother, Joseph DeStefano.

Josephine was deeply loved and she will be forever cherished, forever missed, and carried in our hearts always.
