With humble acceptance of God’s will, we announce the passing of Paula Swain on May 1, 2026.

She was a devoted and loving mother to Tankia Gagliardi and Christie Swain; a cherished sister to Arlene, Wilmatine, and Roosevelt Reid; and a proud and adoring grandmother to Anecia, Fabrizzo Jr., Tamea, Julien’bryce, Kodie, Kaidence, and Kinsey.

Paula’s love, strength, and presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
