Anne "Annie" Oswald's Obituary
Anne "Annie" Oswald, age 89, of Fayetteville, AR, died March 10, 2020. She was born in Long Beach, California to Arthur Lemon and Anna Henrietta Drewes Arnold. She was married to her late husband Bob for 64 years. They moved to the Fayetteville, Arkansas area from Houston, Texas in 1987.
