Arnetta Swaner

Arnetta Swaner was born in Brooklyn, New York on August 6th, 1954 to the late Willow Mae (Ham) Brown and Charles Ham. She attended Long Island University and became an RN. She was beloved by all who knew her and her life illustrated true kindness. She loved her career of service and education as a nurse/clinical advisor for the Visiting Nurse Services of New York for over 20 years.

If Arnetta was in your life you experienced a living example of love, generosity,honesty, loyalty, dedication and patience. She saw the good in people. She nurtured the potential she saw in everyone. She was a free spirit who marched to the beat of her own drum. She was jokingly referred to as a hippie. These things we know for sure..she loved the Lord, ALL of her kids, and her family. She leaves a gaping hole in humanity and will be sorely missed.
