Jacqueline Ann Oswald

Mrs. Oswald was born on March 31, 1937 in Elkhart, Indiana to her parents, Guy and Dorothea Fischer. Jackie had a joyful childhood which she shared with her sister, Janet – often surrounded by music and their large extended family. She attended the University of Colorado-Boulder where she studied geology and met Robert “Bob” Oswald whom she married in 1959. The couple moved to Livonia, Michigan where Jackie worked as a home-maker while Bob worked at the Ford Motor company. The couple had three children and moved to Washington state in 1967 with Bob’s taking a position with PACCAR. Jackie continued as home-maker during the children’s early years after which she began a career as a travel agent where she was able to combine her passion for travel with helping others. She retired in 2002, which allowed her to dedicate her time to enjoying her grandchildren, passion for gardening, travel and listening to her favorite music which often included songs by Ann Murray and other favorite country artists.
