Lynda shared 65 wonderful years of marriage with the love of her life, Bob T. Swan. Together they built a life centered on faith, family, hard work, and love. Bob preceded her in death five years ago, and she missed him dearly every day. Her family finds comfort in knowing they are reunited once again.

After retirement, Lynda and Bob enjoyed delivering newspapers together. If you were lucky enough to ride along on the route, you quickly learned why her grandson Brandon lovingly nicknamed her “NASCAR Granny.” She drove with determination and spirit, and everyone knew how to hang on when she hit the road.

Lynda loved animals and adored cooking for her family. Her kitchen was a place of comfort, laughter, and home-cooked meals. She found great joy in gathering loved ones around her table and making sure everyone was cared for. She always kept and immaculate house, she still to the last day wanted her house spotless!

Lynda is survived by her daughters, Debby Smith and her companion Dale of Gillsburg, Mississippi, and Terrilynn Rodriguez and husband Ivan Rodriguez of Fort White, Florida; her adopted son, Mychal Swan and wife Danelle of Gloster, Mississippi; brothers, Billy Freeman and Kenny Cleveland; sister, Etta Ruth Johnson; eight grandchildren; twenty-three great-grandchildren; and one precious great-great-granddaughter whom she was blessed to meet just weeks before her passing.

Though our hearts are broken, we celebrate a life well lived—a life marked by strength, determination, devotion to family, and unconditional love.

Lynda’s family takes comfort knowing she is no longer in pain and has been reunited with her beloved Bob.

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever in our hearts.
