Jackie Boswell

Jackie Weaver Boswell, 92, went to be with the Lord on June 7, 2014. She was born June 20, 1921 to George T and Maude Weaver in Purdon. She will be greatly missed as she was one of the most giving people to others. She truly lived a wonderful and blessed life. She is resting in peace now with her Lord. During World War II, she worked as a telegrapher in Jefferson and Henderson, Texas. After the war she married Luther Carroll Boswell on December 5, 1945. She was a homemaker for many years then became the secretary for the Navarro County Justice of the Peace until her retirement from the county. She has always taken an active role in helping others. She was a frequent visitor to many of the nursing homes, an active member of the Barry Baptist Church and WMU, and a member of the Eastern Star for 65 years. She was her husband's biggest supporter; helping him in all his activities and helping on the farm. One of her greatest pleasures was working in her yard and garden... not to mention shopping. She was preceded in death by parents; her brothers, George T. and Carroll Weaver, her sisters, Lewelyn Watson and Mary Measles, and son-in-law John Phillips. She is survived by her husband of 68 years, Carroll; daughter, Barbara Phillips; son and daughter-in-law, Larry and Kim Boswell; grandchildren, Brian and Carrie Phillips, David and Hanna Phillips, Mylea and Bryan Mitchell and Lara and Johnny Pattison; ten great-grandchildren, Brody, Hallie, Braden, Kenzie, Blake and Lanna Phillips, Sadie and Kade Mitchell, Rylie and Landry Pattison and sister-in-law Gerry Weaver. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews that she loved very much. Many thanks goes to Thelma Flores, the staff at Twilight Home and Family First for the care and compassion you so graciously gave. Our family is grateful and appreciative to you.
