Several nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband of 66 years, John, her sister Ruth Wagner and brothers Gordon and Cecil.

    To Mrs. Swain’s Family, I was a nurse who looked after your Mom when she was seriously ill about thirty years ago. She was such a lovely woman and a special patient, a pleasure to look after. She also made awesome fudge, as I’m sure you all remember. I am so sorry for your loss.
