Nettie S. Swope
November 5, 1931 — February 28, 2012
Harlingen, TX:
Nettie Sue (Susie) Swope, 80, went home to be with the Lord on February 28, 2012. She was born November 5, 1931 to Samuel and Lucy Myers in La Feria, Texas.
She met the love of her life, John Swope, at La Feria High School and they married in 1950. In 1956, they moved to Harlingen where they have resided for over 55 years.
Susie loved the Lord and was an active member of the First Baptist Church. She was an excellent cook, kept a beautiful yard, and was devoted to her family. Her grandchildren will always have special memories of time spent with their Grandma bowling, playing marbles and laughing until they cried. She will be dearly missed by her loved ones and many friends.
