Josephine "Josie" Doskocil Kleypas passed away peacefully in her home on Monday, May 1st 2023 at the age of 61. Josie was born on April 1st 1962 in Rosebud, Texas to Raymond V. Doskocil and Annie Bartek. The youngest of ten brothers and sisters, she attended public school in Westphalia and Rosebud-Lott. She and her high school sweetheart Paul Kleypas graduated from Rosebud-Lott High School in 1980, and were married in the spring of 1982.
The couple first settled in Temple, Texas where Josie attended Temple Junior College and began her decade-long career in the retail industry. In 1987 job transfers brought the young couple to Austin, where they soon began to grow their family. Their oldest, Zachary, was born in May of 1988, and their youngest, Spencer, in September of 1997.
In 1995 Paul and Josie joined some 200 other families as founding members of the newly-chartered St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church. At that time Josie began working for the Church in a clerical role. In the early years mass was held at a local middle school, and her "office" was a downstairs room at the parish rectory. Over the next 27 years, during which she rose to the position of Parish Business Administrator, she worked joyfully to grow the parish into a thriving community that now serves over 2,000 families. Many of the programs and ministries that she helped to develop are still active today.
Among her many passions in life was her garden. Combining her eye for design and her love for entertaining, she regularly held gatherings for friends and family in her comfortable backyard. So many of her fondest memories were made with dirt under her fingernails and a cool glass of iced tea on her patio.
