Inge Swanson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Heneghan-Suerth Funeral & Cremation Service on Feb. 2, 2026.
Ingeborg Martha Swanson (nee Otto), age 83, left our earthly presence and is reunited with the true love of her life, husband Paul Edward Swanson. She created magic prolifically throughout her long life, bringing joy and comfort by quilting together brilliant colors, shapes, and patterns. She was never without a new creative idea. A mother to all who knew her, She blessed us with an immense abundance of unconditional love. She sang like the sweetest of starlings and had wings to shelter all in her presence. She found humor in the mundane and shared a smile and laughter with everyone. Survived by her two loving sons, Scott Richard Swanson (57), Eric Paul Swanson (55); and a younger brother, Richard Otto.
A Celebration of Inge's Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers memorials appreciated to the National Audubon Society act.audubon.org
