Josephine (Ziobrowski) Noster was born July 4, 1915, in New York City, the daughter of Frank and Amelia Ziobrowski. Her father, Frank, was a baker, and both of her parents had emigrated from Poland to the United States in 1910. Josephine had two younger brothers, Kasper (or Cassimere) and Edward. In 1930 the family was living on Avenue A in Manhattan.
On August 20, 1933, Josephine married Stanley Noster, like her parents he was also a native of Poland. Stanley (originally called Stanislaw) had come to the United States in April of 1930.
The couple had a daughter, Joan, born in 1935 in New York City. By 1940 the family was living at St. Mark's Place in the East Village in New York City, where Stanley worked as a counterman in a restaurant. Later, they would live on Emmons Avenue in Brooklyn, and were both still living in Brooklyn prior to their deaths.
On March 8, 1993, after almost sixty years of marriage, both Josephine and Stanley Noster died; and on April 28, 1993 the two of them were laid to rest in the same grave on Hart Island.
