She was a member of the Woodland United Methodist Church. As a loving mother, daughter, sister, nan, aunt, and niece she will be sorely missed. As a friend, her compassion and understanding will be met by no one else. Time with family around a dinner table cannot be replaced and no one can take her place. We know without a doubt, tears will be shed and a place in our hearts will never be the same, but also understand that she looks down on us now and whispers quietly, “Cry for me but only for a little while, then remember the good times. Remember to love my family, be kind to my friends and give to others even though you have little to give. Take comfort in one another, hold each other’s hands, then carry on with life the way that I lived - loving, caring and without regrets.”
She was preceded in death by her loving father, Jesse Urbane Swindle.
She is survived by three children, Jeffrey Paul Chapman and wife Leisa of Pinhook, Georgia Michelle LaRocca and husband Richard of Mesquite, Krista Kay Elrod and husband Michael of Novice; her mother, Betty Jo Reynolds Swindle of Pinhook; grandchildren, Brittany Ann Miller, Colton Todd Black, Jon Paul Chapman, Michael Keith Chapman, Augustus Beau Chapman, Kaleb Don Elrod, Landon Richard LaRocca; a brother, Jesse Urbane Swindle, Jr. and wife, Kathy; sister, Phyllis JoAnn McMakin and husband, Rockie; sister, Jamie Melinda Carter and husband, John; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.
