May 31, 1930 – April 18, 2022
Josie Eloise Kruse, 91, Noblesville, passed away on Monday, April 18, 2022, at her home surrounded by her family. She was born on May 31, 1930, to Bose and Berlie (Johnson) Hughes in Loretto, Tenn.
Josie was a stay-at-home mom until her children were raised, and then worked various jobs. She enjoyed gardening and southern cooking. If you left Josie’s house thirsty or hungry, it was your own fault! She had a large circle of friends she kept in contact with and held strong religious beliefs. Family was Josie’s Number One priority, and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought her joy.
She is survived by her daughter, Patricia (Bruce) Thomas; son, Jack (Aileen) Kruse; 10 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren; six great-great-grandchildren; and a very large extended family.
In addition to her parents, Josie was preceded in death by her son, Jeffrey Kruse; and her siblings, Artisella and Salford.
Visitation will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., with services at 1 p.m., on Friday, April 22, 2022, at Randall & Roberts Funeral Home, 1150 Logan St., Noblesville. Jon Purkey will officiate. Burial will be at Crownland Cemetery in Noblesville.
