Bette Erca Swanson

Bette was an outstanding model for young women in the community. She was a driver with the kindest of hearts. She was direct and truthful and was loved by all who really knew her. What a loss.

Sherry worked with Ed at Commerce for many years and attended the BLT several seasons! Always a joy to visit with Bette with her smiling face!

The foundation of a church is based on the strength of it's members, each one committed to build on their faith, family, and stewardship. Bette and Ed, brought the sound of music, and direction that energized each member every week. On behalf of my mother (Dee Nielsen) and I, we are sorry to hear of Bette's passing, and will keep the entire Swanson family, and friends in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Swanson Family -- I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. Bette was an amazing woman and I clearly remember her vibrant laugh and beautiful voice. I wish I could be there with you to mourn her passing at the upcoming service. Please know that the Shirck family loved and cherished Bette! I hope Bette, Ed, and Bob & Norma Shirck are all together singing and laughing in heaven! :) Sincerely: you're in my thoughts and prayers. Much love, Nancy (Shirck) Woods

I always enjoyed doing shows at BLT when Bette was involved. She made sure that the productions went well. I really enjoyed her spunky personality!

Aunt Bette was such a fun person to be with. I have such fond memories as a young girl, with my sister Liz and our Mother, Blanche, Aunt Bette's older sister, when we stayed at the Swanson house! With love, Aunt Bette, we will miss you!

Bette was a strong Bellevue leader and mentor of young women. Her accomplishments were many. Bette was a good friend. She and Ed were next door neighbors to my parents Jerrie and Walter Kujawa in Cherry Hills. They watched out for each other. Bette was my guest at Altrusa. She became an exceptionally active Altrusa sister . Bette will be missed by all. She leaves behind her biggest legacy, her fine family. Linda and Bill

My mom, Gwen Marshall, considered Bette to be one of her very best friends. I treasure the stories I've heard about the two of them.
