Grace M. (Arroya) Swanson

GRACE M. SWANSON of Willingboro, NJ, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 13th, 2025, at the age of 87. She was born in Brooklyn, NY and was the wife of the late Carl A. Swanson residing in Willingboro for many years.

Grace was a Teacher’s Aide for many years serving with the Willingboro Twp. School District and was a member of the Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Willingboro.

She is the loving mother of Diane (Derek) Finch, adoring grandmother of Dina (Corey) Johnson and Erika (Jeremy) Gottlieb, and great-grandmother of Nora Johnson.

Grace was a devoted wife to her beloved husband of many years and a loving mother and grandmother who cherished every moment spent with her family. Often referred to as “one of a kind”, she loved fun times, playing games and joking with family. Her warmth, kindness, and unwavering support were the foundation of many cherished memories. Grace especially enjoyed traveling with her husband, and together they shared countless joyful adventures—none more treasured than their many trips to Atlantic City. Whether surrounded by loved ones at home or exploring new places, Grace’s joy was always rooted in the people she loved most.
