Maxine Swift Obituary
A funeral service will take place at 11:00 am on Tuesday, March 19, 2019 at Dutcher Funeral Home in Bronson with Pastor Terry Siler of the First Congregational Church officiating. Interment will follow at Matteson Cemetery. Visitation will be Monday, March 18, 2019 at Dutcher Funeral Home in Bronson from 4:00 – 8:00 pm.
Maxine was born July 13, 1933 to Archie and Dycie (Day) Hawver in Sherwood. She married the love of her life, Irvin Swift on March 28, 1954 in Angola. He preceded her in death on November 26, 1999. Mickie was a hardworking woman, raising her family while also spending many years working as a clerk at Dan's Market, where she was known to pass out candy to the children visiting her lane.
Mickie enjoyed spending time doing crochet work, camping and watching wildlife, especially birds. She also liked doing jigsaw puzzles and watching game shows. One of her many talents was cooking. If you visited her at home, you had to plan on extra time because you were not leaving the house without eating. Mickie also loved animals and spoiled all those she could. Her true joy in life was spending time with her family, especially her grand and great grandchildren. She will be remembered for her loving personality and always worrying about everyone else's needs. Mickie will be missed by many.
Mrs. Swift is survived by her sons Douglas (Cheryl) Swift, Arden "AJ" (Michelle) Swift, Lee (Karen) Swift all of Bronson and Dale Swift of Coldwater; her grandchildren Amy (Rod) Fair, Stacy (Matt) Sharp, Christopher (Kelly) Swift, Emily, Elizabeth, Elayna, Evan, Natalie, Kaylee Swift; her great grandchildren Colin Smith, Marshall Fair, Emerson Fair and Audrey Sharp; many nieces & nephews; and her good friend Marilyn Piatt. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Irvin; her siblings Archie Hawver, Jr., Ellen Winfrey, Margaret "Peg" Norton, and Mary Cox.
