EUREKA SPRINGS — Joanie Kathryn Swarthout, 69, was born on Nov. 14, 1949, to Marion and Harlowe Swarthout in Toledo, Ohio. She died on Feb. 13, 2019, peacefully in her home.
In 1976, she graduated from Bowling Green State University with a B.S. of education in art, and in 1996, earned a B.S. in occupational therapy from Colorado State University. During her careers, she has worked mainly with children.
She is survived by her husband of 42 years, C. Lewis Jones; three exceptional children; one fabulous son-in-law; one remarkable daughter-in-law; and three terrific grandchildren. Also surviving her is a wonderful extended family and an amazing group of friends.
I have lived a truly blessed life by adhering to the following advice. "Live not in the resentments of yesterday nor the expectations of tomorrow. Live in the present and find the joys therein."
A Celebration of Life for Joanie Kathryn Swarthout will be held Sunday, March 10, 2019, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunshine School and Development Center, 3400 Woods Lane, Rogers, Ark. 72756.
