William Swanger Obituary
Willam R. Swanger
Brockport, NY - February 18, 2025, at age 85. William was predeceased by his parents, Russell Swanger, Sr. and Pauline Swanger, and his brother, Richard Swanger. He is survived by his brothers, Russell Swanger, Jr. (Carol) and James Swanger (Shiela), 5 nieces, 4 nephews and many cousins.
Bill was a graduate of Brockport High School. He was in the United States Army, stationed in Germany. He worked at the former Lakeside Memorial Hospital in Brockport until his retirement.
Bill loved riding his 3 wheel electric bike all over Brockport! He loved shopping! He loved his Westerns! He was happy at Evergreen Place in Brockport where he made many friends, enjoyed activities and the food!
We want to thank Evergreen Place and Unity Hospital for their loving care. A graveside service will be held at Lakeview Cemetery in Brockport in the spring.
