Bill Boswell

Amory - William “Bill” Sanford Boswell, Jr., 75, of Amory, died at his home Wednesday, July 23. The son of the late William S. and Edith M. Boswell, Bill was a graduate of Cleveland High School and Delta State University. Truly a Renaissance man, he wore the hats of C.P.A., businessman, English instructor, church and civic leader, and world traveler.

Active over the years in civic leadership positions, Bill served as president of the Cleveland-Bolivar County Chamber of Commerce, member of the Monroe County Chamber of Commerce, president of the Cleveland Exchange Club, and a frequent actor in Community Theatre. An interest in hosting foreign exchange students resulted in his working tirelessly with Rotary International, and for many years the Boswell household graciously hosted students from all corners of the globe.

Bill is survived by his wife, Nancy Davis Boswell; four daughters: Stacey Lampkin (Billy), Katherine Boswell, Nan Thompson, and Dorothy Boswell; three grandchildren: Jessie Lampkin, Molly Lampkin, and Carter Thompson; three sisters: Beth Jacks (Gerald), Kathy Nichols (Tom), and Melanie Wadlington (Warner); sister-in-law, Dorothy Davis; and many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins.

In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to St. Andrews United Methodist Church, PO Box 535, Amory, MS 38821.

A Funeral Service will be held at 11 AM, Monday, July 28 at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, Cleveland with Rev. Darion Duckworth officiating. Burial will follow in Delta Heights Memorial Gardens.
