Paquita Ann Swan (Fowler), 82, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, passed away peacefully November 12, 2023, at home surrounded by family.

She was born on April 26, 1941, to Gordon and Blanche (Jordan) Fowler in Hope Mills, NC.

For most of her adult life, she lived with her family in Madison, Wisconsin. Paquita was a talented crafter and a perfectionist with a sewing machine. From a young age Paquita developed her sewing and crafting talents first by making clothing for her siblings and continuing in later years by creating many unique Halloween costumes for her granddaughter and countless crafts for all family members to cherish for years to come. She also had a love of the outdoors and enjoyed frequent camping trips. Paquita was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend loved by so many.

Paquita leaves a long list of grieving survivors, including her husband Tim, her daughter Pamela (Ronnie) Hammond, granddaughter Stephanie Tew, along with her brothers and sisters, Patricia (Peter) Fisher, Peggy (Larry) Pierce, Rickey (Robert) Lowry, Patrick Fowler, and Michael Fowler; as well as many cherished nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. Paquita also had a team of dedicated caregivers who, along with hospice services, provided indispensable support and compassion.

She was preceded in death by her parents, and her son, Mark Steven Tew.

A Celebration of Life will be held on January 6, 2024, 3:00pm, at Pinecrest Funeral Home, 4721 Dunrobin Drive, Hope Mills, NC.

The world changes from year to year, our lives from day to day, but the love and memory of you shall never pass away.
