Georgiana Swanson was born Jan. 27, 1936, in Iowa City, the daughter of Dewey and Stella Swanson. She moved to Phoenix in 1961 where she taught for 30 years, working with fourth grade and special needs children.

She was active in her church, serving as a deacon and elder. She sang in her church choir. She also loved to travel and was able to visit all 50 states as well as Canada, Europe and Asia. She enjoyed doing genealogy and belonged to many hereditary societies, such as DAR, Huguenot Society, DAC, Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims, Loyalists and Patriots, serving as chapter registrar, chaplain and governor general. She also loved her pets, especially her dog Zach. She could be seen walking Zach around the neighborhood every day.

Georgiana is survived by cousins, friends and her Arizona family. For over 25 years, she was embraced by Ryan and Stefanie Barbieri. This couple gave her a loving and supportive family that helped her make her life more meaningful and active. She will be missed by her hereditary society friends.
