Meet Billy Boswell, Resident of the Month
Billy Boswell was born on Feb. 15, 1936 in Brighton
Mo. He was welcomed to the family by his parents,
Drew and Dazel Boswell, and three older sisters. Billy
was born at home and remained in the same house
until moving to Parkview Healthcare Facility. Growing
up the youngest and only boy in his immediate family,
Billy enjoyed spending time with his family and cherishes those memories.
After 36 years of operating the family grocery store,
Billy’s father became ill. That was when Billy began
running store. At first, Billy didn’t know how to run a
grocery store. In order to learn, he approached the
other grocery store in Brighton, and asked if they
would mentor him. After nine years, billy sold the family business, in order to serve his country in the United
States Army.
Billy served for two years in Korea. Upon the completion of his tour, he returned
home and began working at Zenith in Springfield, Mo., where he remained for 28
years until his retirement, serving as an inspector.

What is your favorite thing
about Parkview?
The people I work with. From
the top to the bottom this is
a great place to work.
What is your favorite thing to
do when you are not at
work?
I enjoy spending time with
my wife and kids. I have 5
kids (3 girls and 2 boys). We
go on hikes and spend time
outdoors. I also enjoy going
to the gym to workout.

Along with working at Zenith, Billy also worked on his farm, where at one point, he
had over 100 head of cattle. “I would get up at 4 a.m. to feed the cows. I would then
then work from 6 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. I would then return home and do chores for
another four hours,” Billy explained. “It was usually 7 p.m. before I was finished with
my chores.” Although it was hard, Billy enjoyed working with his cattle. “I still have a
few on my farm that his nephew cares for.”
Billy moved into Parkview in March of 2015 after having both of his legs amputated due to circulation problems. His favorite thing about living at Parkview is all of
the friendly people. “Parkview is the friendliest place I have ever been,” Billy said
with a smile. “They take really good care of me.”
Congratulations Billy on being chosen as the Parkview Healthcare Facility’s Resident of the Month for October.
