Martin Joseph Oslowski

Martin Joseph Oslowski, age 77, passed away on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, in his home, surrounded by many loved ones. He was taken from us by the devastating, untreatable wrath of PSP. His valiant and brave acceptance was made with dignity, resolve and concern for his loved ones.

Marty was born on June 7, 1949 to Edward Oslowski (Ki) and Lottie Babola Oslowski in Charleroi, Pennsylvania. His childhood was spent in Donora, Pennsylvania among many aunts, uncles, and cousins. His Polish speaking grandparents all came from Poland entering the US through Ellis Island.

When the steel mill in Donora shut down, Ki was forced to move to Fairless Hills Pennsylvania to find work. The family followed shortly after, forcing Marty to enter a new world at a tender age. He attended junior high there and graduated from Pennsbury High School May, 1967. He worked summers at the steel mill to earn money for college. He moved to State College, Pa., to attend Penn State, graduating in May, 1971. Having a low draft number, he was allowed to finish college, but was called to serve his country right after. He was able to join the Army Reserve and avoid active duty. Off to Boot Camp in July, 1971. He finished his 6 year obligation and service here in the Utah Army Reserve and was honorably discharged on June, 1977.

After finishing Boot Camp, he was hired by Aetna Life and Casualty, and the company transferred him to Salt Lake City after his training. He moved into Aspen Hills Apartments and that’s where he met DeAnn. One year later, they were married at St. Ambrose Catholic Church, on May 19, 1973. Just as he was about to be promoted and transferred to New Jersey with Aetna, a new doctor owned malpractice insurance company was formed. He was asked to come aboard as their Claim Rep. It is this company that he later became President and CEO of the Utah Medical Insurance Association. He remained in that position until retirement.

He was a fly fisherman in his early years in Utah, became an avid skier, where Sundays became our family ski day in and around Park City. Once introduced to golf, he became a golf addict, and happily, DeAnn took up the game as well. Many days were spent playing golf at Hidden Valley Country Club with friends, clients and other golfing couples. Golf brought many new and wonderful friends and fun golf trips in the States and in Europe.

Marty is survived by his wife of 53 years, DeAnn. Son, Jonathan Martin (Kristen) Oslowski. Daughter, Cassie Ann Oslowski. Grandchildren, Max Wayne Pack and Ivy Ann Walker. Step grandchildren, Robyn (Kyle) Wright, Allie (Austin) Schultz, Annie Vincent (Tiffany Mondragon), Cody Vincent, Colton (Savanna) Vincent. Step great grandchildren, Cooper Shultz, Afton and Violet Vincent. Brother, Daniel Oslowski, Niece Meredith Oslowski, Melbourne Florida. Many cousins living in Pennsylvania and DeAnn’s extended family.

Special thanks to Holladay Home Care, and Canyons Hospice. They sent many angels to our home to help with Marty’s care. Forever grateful.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later time, for family and friends.

Date to be determined.
