Margery Florence Swift, 92, of East Greenwich went to be with the Lord on March 14, 2022 while at Roberts Health Centre of North Kingstown, where she has resided since July 2015.

A devout Christian and beloved mother of Gregory, Alison, and Grant Swift and grandmother to Shawna and Olivia Swift.

She was the cherished daughter of Edmund and Helen (Jones) Wyks of Westwood, N.J.

Margery was employed at Quidnessett Memorial Cemetery as part of the secretarial staff for thirty-three years. She also served as a docent at Smith’s Castle in North Kingstown as well as a Regent for a local chapter of the D.A.R. (Daughters of the American Revolution).

She loved her family and friends immensely and was always available to help in Church functions until her health declined.

Margery was a long-standing member of Quidnessett Baptist Church in North Kingstown.

Margery had many talents and hobbies, including piano playing, painting, various crafts, and specialty cake making. Many a wedding, anniversary, or other special event was commemorated with one of her cakes.

With absolute faith in her Eternal reward in Heaven, she will be missed.

A special thanks to the staff of Robert’s Health Centre and Beacon Hospice, who went above and beyond attending to her care during these trying times.
