Obituary

Vicki L. Oswald, 65, of Sioux Falls, entered the gates of heaven on April 3, 2026, surrounded by her loving family after a courageous battle with breast cancer.

Visitation with the family present will be from 2:00 pm to 4:00 p.m., with a prayer service and sharing beginning at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at St. Michael Parish, 1600 South Marion Road, Sioux Falls, SD. A Funeral Mass will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, April 13, 2026, at St. Michael Parish, with burial at 3:00 p.m. at Grandview Cemetery in Gary, SD.

Vicki was born in Beresford, South Dakota, to her loving parents, Leland and Marge Klostergaard. She attended South Dakota State University, where she met the love of her life, Mark Oswald. The two were married and began their journey together in Kansas City, Missouri, before settling in Sioux Falls, where they raised their three children and built a life centered on faith, family, and friendship.

Grateful for having shared her life are her husband Mark Oswald; daughter Megan (Eric) Staebell; sons Scott (Kari) Oswald and Dan Oswald; sisters Kristy (John) Pedersen, Karen (Kevin) Graber, and Jean (Jim) Steffen; and her beloved grandchildren, Ellie and Aidy Staebell, and Ira and Tate Oswald.

Vicki lived life to the fullest and found joy in creating lasting memories with family and friends. She loved traveling, especially cruising and spending time at the lake, always embracing the opportunity to "take the trip" and enjoy the moment. She deeply cherished her close friendships and the many laughs, conversations, and special moments they shared. Her vibrant spirit, contagious energy, and deep appreciation for life left a lasting impression on all who knew her.

Her Catholic faith was an important part of her life and guided the way she cared for others. Vicki was devoted to her family and especially cherished her role as Nana. She never missed an opportunity to attend her grandchildren's activities or spend time with them, filling their lives with love, laughter, and unwavering support.

Professionally, Vicki dedicated her career to Southeast Technical College, where she served as Senior Executive Assistant to the President. She was respected for her professionalism, dedication, and kindness.

Vicki will be remembered for her kind heart, strong faith, vibrant spirit, and deep love for her family and friends. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Mark Oswald; grandson, Rhett Oswald; her parents, Leland and Marge Klostergaard; and all her dear friends and family who have gone before her.
