Darlene Swann

Darlene Swann of Mt. Olive, Alabama passed away on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at the age of 87. This beautiful Lady was a devoted Christian, a mighty prayer warrior, a precious mother, a loving grandmother, and a DOTING great-grandmother. She was all of the things that any family would want, need, desire or hope for in a matriarch. She had the uncanny ability to connect with others and adopt them into her family. She could tell you the funniest story of her time growing up, while simultaneously baking you your favorite homemade pie. She spoke "unconditional love" like a native language and she lived every word of scripture every day of her life. We lost a great woman on September 20, 2025. We all did - whether you knew her or not. There is one thing, and only one thing, that she loved more than her family and that was the Lord Jesus. So, while we must be without her for a time, we know and live by the hope and promise that this is only goodbye for now.
MawMaw, we know you have already heard these words from the One you always longed to hear them. "Well done my good and faithful servant!" We love you and we long for the day we will see you again.
