Becky Swain Obituary
Becky was born on April 15, 1942 in Harnett County, the daughter of the late Clifford Allen Swain and Ruby Parker Swain. She grew up in Thomasville and spent most of her adult life there, in High Point and in Lexington. The last few years of her life were spent in Albemarle where she was comforted by her brother Robert, his wife Beth, their children Leslie and Matthew, and their families.
She was preceded in death by her sister, Mary Helen Potts. She is survived by her sister Ruth Votava of Spokane, Wa. and her brother Dan and his wife Julie of Welcome, NC, as well as several nieces and nephews.
A private Celebration of Life was held by the family. Memorials may be made to Tillery Compassionate Care, 960 N. First St, Albemarle, NC 28001 or a local Hospice Care facility.
