Leslie Swanson Obituary

Leslie Swanson, a generous, loving, and loyal woman, passed away on December 16, 2024, at the age of 69. Leslie was born on February 4, 1955, in Providence, Rhode Island, and spent her most recent years in Brewster, Massachusetts, where she found joy in reading, afternoons at the beach, and spending time with her family. She was a passionate, empathetic woman who devoted her life to her family and community.

Leslie is survived by her daughters Michelle and Meghan Swanson, her grandson Rocco Bieber, and her sisters Anne Archambault, Barbara Allen, and Rowena Sullivan. She was predeceased by her parents Raymond and Marjorie Hines, and her sister Joan Baldini. As a proud graduate of Attleboro High School and Westfield State College, Leslie displayed her dedication to her community through her extensive service at the YMCA, where she worked as a bookkeeper from 1987 until her retirement in 2015. Her favorite person in the world was her grandson Rocco, whom she loved spoiling every chance she got. Leslie's generosity and empathy resonated with everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Family and friends are invited to attend a visitation on Sunday, December 29, 2024, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Duffy-Poule Funeral Home, 20 Peck Street, Attleboro, MA.

Remember her as a college classmate as always friendly and smiling. We won a dance contest at a local establishment because she knew how to dance.

To Leslie“s family, my deepest condolences. I was not only her college classmate but we were senior class officers. She was a friendly and a hard worker. May she rest in peace. Bill Littleton
