Shirley Ann Swapp

Formerly of Panguitch

Our beautiful mother and grandmother, Shirley Ann Dodds Swapp, 90, formerly of Cedar City, UT passed away on January 26, 2020, at the home of her daughter in Layton, UT surrounded by her family. She was born on June 28, 1929 in Panguitch, UT to Thomas and Rebecca "Rea" Workman Dodds. She married Mont C. Swapp on April 13, 1952 in Panguitch. The marriage was solemnized in the St. George Temple on May 21, 1994. He preceded her in death July 25, 2003.

Mom loved all things beautiful: flowers, hummingbirds, making quilts for her family, cooking for loved ones, and reading. She was a happy woman who practiced kindness and compassion with everyone and her most prized treasures were her children and grandchildren. She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She had a strong testimony of her Savior and was a wonderful example to her children.

She is survived by all seven of her children: Patricia Nick, Marilyn (Eldon) Hansen, Jane (Frank) Bradbury, Charlyn Porter, Shirley (Marty) Tyler, Mont D. (Melissa) Swapp, Thomas (Susan) Swapp; brother, Maloy Dodds; sister, Mary Jean Oldham and 22 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren, 7 great-great-grandchildren and many loving nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her dear friend Joy Bradbury who also lived at her son and daughter-in-law’s house.

She is also preceded in death by her parents; sister, Mamie (Howard) Hatch; brother, George (Aletta) Dodds; brother-in-law, John "Jack" Oldham; sister-in-law, Carol Dodds.

We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for mom’s CNA Yesse and her nurse Sarah from Rocky Mountain Hospice for all their loving care to make Mom’s last months comfortable.
