Mary Ann "Dolly" Swift

Aug 15, 1937 - Sep 30, 2025

Mary Ann "Dolly" Swift, formerly of Lakes of the Four Seasons, Crown Point, Indiana, passed away peacefully on September 30, 2025, in Florida with her family at her side. She was born in Hobart, Indiana on August 15,1937. Dolly was raised by her parents, Mary R. Mikolajczyk (nee Jachimczak) and Stephen J. Mikolajczyk, both of whom preceded her in death. Upon the early death of her father from Tuberculosis when Dolly was only 9 years old, her maternal grandparents, Anna and Stanley Jachimczak lovingly cared for her and her siblings along with their mother. She graduated from Hobart High School and was a member of the Polish National Catholic Church in New Chicago. Dolly met her husband, Bruce and married on November 18, 1961, choosing to elope to Las Vegas, Nevada. They lived a block from Lake Michigan at Miller beach and moved to Lakes of the Four Seasons in 1971, with their two children Bruce II and Sheri. The family owned and operated Century 21 Four Seasons, Inc. in the Four Seasons area for over 30 years. She and her husband Bruce were active in the Four Seasons Community they so loved. Dolly has left us all with so many good memories. She is survived by her son, Bruce II; daughter, Sheri (Dom), and three loving granddaughters: Trista, Kendall and Kailey, and their mother, Lisa; sister, Verna (Gene) Mebert; sister-in-law, Maxine (Steve) Michaels, and several nieces and nephews.

Dolly was preceded in death by her loving and devoted husband, Bruce; brother, Steve (Maxine) and sister, Carol (Dave) Evans. Private funeral arrangements entrusted with Burns Funeral Home & Crematory, Crown Point, IN. Entombment at Graceland Cemetery where she joined Bruce in eternal peace.
