Louise Margaret Swim, 92, of Manassas, VA, passed away on February 16, 2021.
Louise was born in Arlington, VA to Margaret Broderick on March 1, 1928. She was raised by her aunt and uncle in Arlington, VA. She married Jake D. Swim on December 31, 1983, in Manassas, VA. Louise was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and a very hard worker for all her life. She worked as a custodian and retail clerk for many years. At 92, she was beautiful with her crystal blue eyes, sharp as could be, charming, smart, and very funny. Her personality undoubtedly made friends easily. She loved spending time with her dog, Princess, and was very involved in gardening and maintaining her yard and house. Her contagious laugh, smile, and determination will be remembered forever.

Now cross-crossing Virginia campaigning to be its next governor, Pete Snyder doesn’t often get to eat breakfast with his child.
Recently, however, he did. After they ate, his daughter Bee, 6, showed him something special hanging on her bulletin board. There, above her desk, Bee had pinned three of her father’s campaign bumper stickers to her bulletin board. It was a proud dad moment for the candidate.
