Mrs Swearingen was a true jewel! We only knew her a short while. We danced on Sunday afternoons at Westside Lions club to the fiddlers.She had the most beautiful smile and man could she dance. She just floated across the floor in the most beautiful clothes. She will truly be missed. Joe and Judy Roberson
