Sheryl Marie Swanson's Obituary
Sheryl Marie Swanson, age 72, of Smyrna passed away surrounded by her family on December 7, 2022.
Sheryl was the most loving, joyful, Jesus-filled woman. She was honest, understanding, and generous to a fault. Anyone who knew her experienced her warmth and kindness. Her hugs were infectious and she never met a stranger. Family was central to her life. Her love for children was evident among her children, grands and great grand children, and many more. She was a member of Ararat Church where she grew deeper in her relationship with Jesus. Having a relationship with Jesus was a desire Sheryl had for all her loved ones. This was the legacy she left to all who knew her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Verna Graybill; son, Robert Stephen Graybill; and siblings, Larry Graybill and Donna Kreider. She is survived by her husband, Anthony Noel Swanson; children, Shelly Legaspi (spouse, Nick) of Marietta, Phillip Graybill (partner, Sophia Manzocchi) of Los Angeles, CA, Kristy Bradway (spouse, Anthony) of Canton, and Seth Wiles of Roswell; siblings, Dean Graybill (spouse, Cathy) of Paradise, PA, Donovan Graybill (spouse, Beth) of Lititz, PA; grandchildren, Tyler, Lacy, Trent, June, Anthony, Ella, Robbie, Ava, Jaxon, Caden, Trinity, and Trevor; two great-grandchildren; and a host of extended family and friends.
