Josefa Naval Girbés was a 19th-century Spanish laywoman belonging to the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites. Born in Algemesí in 1820, she dedicated much of her life to teaching and spiritual guidance. After her mother's passing, she managed her family's household, eventually establishing a residence focused on the moral and spiritual growth of others. She gained recognition for her work as an educator and catechist, as well as for her compassionate care for those suffering from cholera during her final years.
