Gloria Marie Swint

Gloria Marie Swint, 71, of Georgetown, died on June 14, 2013, due to complications from a stroke.

Gloria was born on July 9, 1941 to Lewis and Oveta Harms in Del Rio, Texas.

Gloria graduated from Uvalde High School, Southwest Texas Junior College and Sul Ross State University. She married Jared LaGay Swint on September 2, 1961 in Uvalde. She enjoyed teaching English and World History in public schools over her 32-year teaching career, which included teaching in Guam, New Mexico, Uvalde, Odessa, and San Antonio.

After retiring from teaching, Gloria and Gay moved outside of Seguin and enjoyed living in the country for 11 years. After Gay was diagnosed with cancer in 2008, they moved to Georgetown (Sun City) to be closer to their son and his wife. Her husband passed away 8 months later in May 2009.

Her wishes were to be cremated and have a celebration of life memorial in the Austin Metro area during the summer.

She is survived by her son, Leo Swint and his wife Meredith, of Pflugerville; two sisters-in-law, Elaine Swint of Amarillo and Marie Mahan and husband, Joe, of Wylie; three brothers-in-law, Gene Moore of Seguin, Gerry Moore and wife Sandy of Reagan Wells, and Larry Swint and wife Barbara of Austin; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 48 years, Gay Swint, and her parents, Lewis and Oveta Harms.

The family suggests memorials to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, American Stroke Association, Wounded Warrior Project, or the charity of one’s choice.
