Virginia P. Swarts Virginia P. (Ginny) Swarts, age 69 years, beloved mother, dearest sister, treasured friend, of Bradenton, FL, and Caledonia died November 28, 2003 in Bradenton, FL surrounded by her family. She was born July 19, 1934 in Rochester, NY to Charles R. and Virginia (Miller) Place. Her husband, Sidney Swarts and sister, Glenn Mary (Midge) Martin predeceases Ginny. She is survived by daughters and sons-in-law; Kathryn and Joseph Niedzwick of Bradenton, FL, Melinda (Mindi) and Richard McDermott of Lafayette, CO; grandchildren, Cori (James) Annis of Holmes Beach, FL, Jody (Doug) Naeher also of Holmes Beach, FL, Jonathan (Amy) Niedzwick of Bradenton; great-grandchildren, Brock and Brandon Annis, Lila Naeher; sister, Joan (Martin) Solberg of Newport, WA; sisters-in-law, Lois (Bob) Waldron of Clifton Springs, NY, Roberta Arnold of Lompoc, CA, Barb (Ken) Burmeister of Painted Post, NY; several nieces and nephews; dear friend, Phil D’Angelo of Caledonia. She was a native of Caledonia and a member of the First Presbyterian Church there. When she moved to Bradenton FL in 1991, she became a member of the Braden River Church. She was active in her church, community and organizations too numerous to mention. Her years as a travel agent for Van Zile Travel Agency took her all over the world, and her many interests - golf, music, travel, and bingo - kept her always on the go. Friends called Thursday, December 4, 2-4 and 7-9 PM at the Alhart Funeral Home, 3068 W. Main Street, Caledonia NY. Her Funeral Service was held Friday, December 5, 1:00 PM at the First Presbyterian Church, 3080 W. Main Street, Caledonia. Private Interment at Mumford Rural Cemetery, Mumford. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be sent to the Caledonia Ambulance Fund, PO Box 3, Caledonia, NY 14423. A memorial service will be held for Ginny in Bradenton FL at a later date. She enriched the lives of all who knew her, and her strength and support were freely offered to anyone in need. Although she was taken from us too soon, we take comfort in knowing that her beautiful voice is singing with the angels now.
