EAST WATERBORO — Virginia M. “Ginny” (Swett) Day, 78, of East Waterboro, passed away peacefully following a brief illness, surrounded by her loved ones on Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2014 at the Southern Maine Health Care in Sanford.
She was born in Waterboro on Jan. 10, 1936, a daughter of the late Maurice R. Sr. and Frances R. (Brady) Swett.
Ginny had been active with many committees for the Town of Waterboro over the years, but her work with the Historical Society (or affectionally known as the Hysterical Society) had brought her the most joy.
Ginny was preceded in death by: her husband of 47 years, Donald; and her sons, Jerry, Dana, Dale and Dwight McPherson.
Ginny is survived by: her children, Douglas McPherson and his wife Nancy, Derryl McPherson and his wife Julie, Dennis Day and Dawn (Day) Drown and her husband Scott; her grandchildren, Christopher McPherson, Brandon and Kathy McPherson, Benjamin McPherson and his fiancée Leah Goldstien, Bethany (McPherson) and Ben Gaudet, Melanie (Flanagan) and Rich Ellis, Sean and Dana Flanagan, Sarah Day, Jessica Day, Matthew Drown, and Kaylee (Drown) and Mario Hale; one brother, Johnny Swett; one sister, Patricia Swett; as well as countless friends who have truly given her years of joy. Ginny had especially taken joy in the many great-grandchildren who also survive her.
Mom, “May your well never run dry.”
