Jeannie Marie Swygart, 66, left this world peacefully on August 27, 2024. A lifelong resident of Plymouth, she was born on May 1, 1958 to Lloyd Espich and Mary Jean Komanich.
Her vibrant spirit touched everyone she met. Jeannie devoted herself to her family and embraced life with a heart full of kindness.

Later in life, Jeannie found a true companion in Brian Smith, who stood by her side, offering unwavering support and sharing in her joys, including running out for her favorite treats to satisfy her sweet tooth during her final months. Their friendship brought her great comfort and joy.
With a creative spirit, Jeannie enjoyed activities such as egg painting and crafts. She also found solace in her garden, where she tended to her plants.
