Josie was born in Minot, ND on April 29, 1934, the daughter of Adolph and Mabel (Simonson) Kohoutek. She graduated from Minot High School in 1952.

She met Harley Dyer in Havre, MT and became his wife on August 2, 1956 in Minot. Together they moved to Great Falls, MT where they were blessed with two daughters. The family then moved to Glendive, MT in 1960 where Josie worked for the Montana Highway State Patrol. They moved to Dickinson in 1968. Josie worked various jobs here, which included attorneys’ offices, office supply store, retail store and for 16-17 years with Dr. Mark Emmerich. She was a member of St. John Lutheran Church since 1968. She served on the Altar Guild for 53 years, was a Sunday school teacher and a member of the quilting group. 

Josie volunteered for many years at the hospital, church, and nursing homes. She also served as a 4-H leader, Bluebird and Brownie leader and was active in the community in many other ways. She was also the Queen Bee of her Red Hat Society group. 

Josie made friends wherever she went and truly cared about people. She touched the hearts of many who will miss her dearly.

Josie has now joined her husband of 55 years, Harley (2011); father, Adolph Kohoutek; mother, Mabel Simonson; step-mother, Olga Martinson; brothers, Richard and Eugene Kohoutek and many dear friends. She lives on in the lives and memories of daughters Kathleen Dyer of Livermore, CA, Linda Caron of Rapid City, SD; four grandchildren, Andee Caron, Trista (Jimmy) Snipes, Chris Caron (Janel Heidebrink), Daniel Caron; two great-grandchildren, Jazlyn Caron and Brinklee Caron; brother, J. Thomas Kohoutek of Phoenix, AZ. and many others too numerous to mention.
