Jacqueline Lucille “Jackie” Boswell, of Greenville, passed

Visitation will be from 1:00 p.m. until service time. Arrangements are under the direction of
Coker-Mathews Funeral Home. Masks are

Jackie was born July 23, 1929 in Farmington, Missouri to
parents Grover Cleveland and Maud Calvert McDaniel. She was welcomed into Heaven by her Lord,
Jesus, as well as by her beloved Bosie, and grandsons Rusty and Justin.
Jackie grew up in Farmington, Missouri and there met and
married Evault “Bosie” Boswell in 1948.
After several moves to different states, the couple settled in
Greenville, Texas. Jackie worked at Belk
Department Store, as well as Brookshires, but she really loved
bookkeeping. As God works, in 1962,
Bosie and Jackie accepted Christ into their hearts and lives, and things
changed forever. In 1981 Bosie was
called to be the director of Zephyr Baptist Encampment near Corpus Christi,
TX. Jackie served as second in command,
doing all the bookkeeping for the camp, as well as managing the kitchen. Over their years at Zephyr, several of their
grandchildren were staffers at the summer camps and it was Jackie “Memaw” they
feared more than Bosie. She wrote their
paychecks and would not pay them until their cabins were cleaned. She was tiny but mighty!
After their retirement from Zephyr, they returned to
Greenville, and once again became active in church, now at Highland Terrace
Baptist. She and Bosie were also
frequent visitors to Briarcliff Nursing Home where they would sing together for
the residents, as well as the Salvation Army. During this time Jackie also
began serving as a “Pink Lady” volunteer at the Hunt Regional Medical
Center. She truly loved her volunteer
work and continued in it for more than twenty years.
Jackie was a talented pianist, an avid Texas Rangers fan (but
baseball in general), a rock collector extraordinaire, a skilled bird watcher,
a so-so golfer, adventure loving, the best mother in the entire world, and a
daughter of the King. She will be so
greatly missed.
Jackie is survived by her three children, Linda Acker and her
husband, Glenn Acker; Becky McConnell and her husband Jim McConnell; and Joe
Boswell and his wife, Dawn Boswell.
Grandchildren include: Wesley
Acker and his wife Penney; Catherine Acker; Nick Acker and his wife
Beka; Jeff Dobbs and his wife Brandy; Matt Boswell and his wife Jessica; Marc
Boswell and his wife Anna Grace; Jacqueline Nicole Boswell and Bailey Moore. Great grandchildren include: Peyton Arnold, Lauren Arnold, Jacob Dobbs,
Kadin Acker, Kaitlyn Acker, Jayci Dobbs, Emily Dobbs, Abigail Acker, Khloe
Acker, Zoe Acker, Seth Acker, Liam Acker, Aaron Boswell, Isaac Boswell, Baxley
Acker and the newest addition, Parker Boswell.
She is also survived by precious nieces and nephews.
Jackie was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters,
Emma, Polly and Dot, her brother, Charles (“Bud”), her husband of 70 years,
Bosie, and grandsons Rusty Dobbs and Justin Acker.
Pallbearers are Jackie’s grandsons: Wesley Acker, Jeff Dobbs, Nick Acker, Matt
Boswell, Marc Boswell and Russ Cook.
Memorials may be sent to:
Zephyr Baptist Encampment, 151 FM 3162, Sandia, TX 78383
