Jackie V. Dobson Schwan

Jackie V. Dobson Schwan, 83, of Amarillo died Friday, June 13, 2003.

Graveside services will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday in Llano Cemetery. In 
the absence of her pastor - the Rev. Frank Williams, of Covenant 
Presbyterian Church - a lay person will officiate. Arrangements are 
by Schooler Funeral Home, 4100 S. Georgia St.

Mrs. Schwan was born Jan. 21, 1920, in Frederick, Okla., to William 
"Bud" Dobson and Julia Parrish Dobson. She was the youngest of 12 
children growing up in Oklahoma.

Jokingly, however, she would say "I wasn't born in Texas but got here 
as quick as I could," living her life in Amarillo from young 
adulthood. On Dec. 24, 1938, she was married to Henry G. Schwan.

They had a daughter, Judy, in 1940. Henry later became an Amarillo 
city employee and fire chief of many years. He went to be with the 
Lord in May 2001.

Mrs. Schwan had a long career with Southwestern Public Service Co. in 
Amarillo.

A faithful wife for 62 years, a beloved mother, grandmother, aunt and 
loving friend to many, Jackie left a rich heritage and will be 
greatly missed.

The family and fiends of Jackie V. Dobson Schwan will celebrate her 
life at a graveside service.

Survivors include a daughter, Judy Garrett and husband, Bill, of 
Grapevine; two granddaughters, Holly Raif and husband, Tony, of 
Carlsbad, Calif., and Amy Klein and husband, Dana, of Highlands 
Ranch, Colo.; great-grandchildren, Cassidy and Camryn Klein, and 
Ethan and Joshua Raif; and scores of nieces and nephews.

The family will receive visitors from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. today at 
the funeral home.

The family suggests memorials be to Covenant Presbyterian Church, 
1400 Wolflin Ave., Amarillo, TX 79109.
