Mona Swihart Obituary
Mona Ann Swihart, age 60, of Kirby, passed away on Wednesday, November 5, 2025.
She was born on July 12, 1965 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She was the daughter of Larry Alan Swihart and Ova Jean Fant. She was preceded in death by her parents; her grandparents, Bill and Cora Fant; and her uncle, William "Bill" Fant.
Mona was Christian in her faith. For many years she worked for the Pike County Library and Banium Library where she loved serving her community. She loved giving to children, working for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library and would host crafting and painting classes. She never met a stranger and would give you the shirt off her back.

She is survived by her siblings, Dawn Friedman, Richard Swihart, Debbie Cole, Melody Swihart, Sara Swihart, and Debbie Goodyear; and her many loving nieces, nephews, extended family members, and a host of wonderful friends.
