Robert (Bob) Lynn Bozeman, 81, passed away on Tuesday August 5, 2025 at home surrounded by his family. Bob was born on March 15, 1944 in Ontario, Oregon to Nathan and Nannie Maud Bozeman. His family moved to various places, eventually settling in Moses Lake, WA where Bob graduated from Moses Lake High School in 1962. After high school he attended Big Bend Community College for two years then transferred to Central Washington University in Ellensburg. It was during his time at CWU that he met his future wife, Jolyne Reiswig, when she happened to be visiting a mutual friend on campus. While at CWU, Bob enlisted in the United States Army and served our country for 3 years from 1966-1969 with one year of service in Vietnam. Bob and Jolyne were married November 9, 1968 in Bellevue, Washington. They lived in NJ their first year of marriage where he completed his obligation to the Army at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. Once released from the Army, Bob and Jolyne returned to CWU where Bob graduated with a teaching degree in 1971. At this time, they moved to Moses Lake, WA where they raised their two girls, Jenny and Tanya. Bob taught at Chief Moses Middle School for 4 years. He later transitioned to a job at the Safeway Milk Plant until they closed, which prompted his early retirement. Throughout the rest of Bob's life he continued to enjoy spending time with his wife and family, volunteering at church and tending to his tomato plants and flowers.



Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Nathan and Nannie Maud Bozeman, his sisters Joann Cagle and Betty Shropshire.
