Astrid Swanson Obituary
"Peggy," as she was known to everyone, was born August 21, 1929, in Malmo, Alberta to Christopher and Birgitta Annas, immigrants from the old Swedish village of Gammalsvennskby, in the Ukraine.
Predeceased by her parents and her husband Edwin, daughter Marion, son Wayne, sister Irene, and brothers Gene, Gordon, Robert and Richard.
Survived by daughter Carol (Larry Holdsworth) and sons Douglas (Anna) and Murray. Son-in-law Mike Jaccard (Brenda Childs - Jaccard). Grandchildren; Sarah Holdsworth, Jennifer Casorso (Sam Mendes), Bryan Swanson, Christopher Jaccard (Stephanie), Daniel Jaccard (Neda), Nathan, Ashley, and Cody Childs.
Great Grandchildren; Olivia and Issac Mendes, Benjamin and James Jaccard, and Aria, Alice, Damien and Kaleigh Childs.
Special niece, Lorraine Kandler and many other beloved nieces and nephews.
Decades worth of happy summers were spent at Shuswap Lake with family and friends. She loved her birthday bunch get-togethers and world travels with Betty and Pat. She was a good friend to many people, and she will be dearly missed.
You can be sure that she is out there dancing with Ed and when the moon is full at the lake you may glimpse her swimming the moonbeam, as she loved to do.
No funeral by her request, a Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. If desired, memorials may be made to a Charity of Your Choice.

Peggy was a special Y friend. For years our group lunched and had coffee together. Then, we lost track of her after she moved to Riverbend. We had so many happy times together.
Condolences to all her family.
