Oscar Schwitzerlette

Oscar Schwitzerlette, 87, of Grandview, West Virginia, departed from this life and entered his Heavenly home on November 24, 2024.

Oscar was born on July 6, 1937, to the late Samuel and Myrtle Schwitzerlette in Gretna, Virginia. He married his beloved wife Eliza (Sweetie) on December 7,1957.

In 1971, Oscar and Eliza began working in Christian ministry and embarked on a journey that took them to various communities across Virginia and West Virginia. Their ministry led them to Grandview, West Virginia in 1977 where he served as both a minister and long-time member of Grandview Christian Church. Oscar's legacy paints a beautiful picture of a life devoted to service and sharing the love of Christ. His desire to touch the lives of others was evident in both big and small ways–through his strong handshakes, warm hugs, heartfelt prayers, and the countless visits he made to others.

Left to cherish his memory are his children Marsha Badertscher (David), Jonathan Schwitzerlette (Candi), Teresa Wills (Steve); his grandchildren Jessica Payne(Mark), Ashley Marden (Brice), Kacie Blosser (Matt), Caleb Wills (Hillary), Jonathan David Schwitzerlette; his great grandchildren Adalynn, Eliza Grace, and Rhett Marden, Trenton and Parker Blosser, and Brayden and Anistyn Wills. He is also survived by his brother Walter Schwitzerlette and his sister Dorothy Jacobs.

His celebration of life will be held on November 29, 2024, at 1 p.m. at Grandview Christian Church. Friends may visit with the family two hours before his service.

Entombment will be at Sunset Memorial Park on Harper Road, Beckley, West Virginia following the service.

Pallbearers will be Caleb Wills, Jonathan David Schwitzerlette, Matt Blosser, Trenton Blosser, Mark Payne, and Brice Marden.

In lieu of flowers, please honor Oscar with donations to Bower's Hospice House at 454 Cranberry Road, Beckley, West Virginia, 25801
