Jeanne Swan
Jeanne Carol Swan (Revering), 81, of Burbank, WA passed away on September 10, 2021 at Avalon Health Care and Rehabilitation Center in Pasco, WA. She was born on June 2, 1940 Minneapolis, MN to Leonard Andrew Revering and Esther Bernadine Revering (Lindberg).
In Jeanne’s early years she grew up in Buffalo, MN and really enjoyed growing up with her brothers and her many cousins. Her dad followed the sheet metal trade, taking her and family around the country and settling Fairbanks, AK. This is where she attended High School. They lived in California, Ellensburg, Wenatchee and Burbank, WA.
A little note from George (her husband):
I, George Swan, met Jeanne, the love of my life. She was a waitress in a restaurant in Wenatchee. I was a Fisheries Research Biologist on a project in that area. I went in for breakfast and saw this lovely waitress and we instantly bonded and I could not stop smiling. I returned regularly, and finally got the nerve to ask for her phone number. Later, when I called, it turned out be a “Dial a Prayer” number. Not knowing how to take that, I went back for breakfast and asked her about the number, she replied “It was a test!” The rest is history and we shared 41 wonderful years of life together.
Jeanne worked in various restaurants; she worked with George for the Fisheries Research of the National Marine Fisheries and was a partner in operating the Nic Nack Shack in Wenatchee. Jeanne also belonged to the Women’s Sorority and enjoyed playing Bunco with her group of friends.
She enjoyed her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren.
Jeanne is survived by her husband of 41 years, George Swan; son, Bud Goodrich, daughter, Leanna Compton; daughter, Karol Larson; brother, Stan Revering and numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren and her friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Chuck Revering and Jerry Revering, sons, Steve Douglas Goodrich and John Scott Goodrich; granddaughters, Alia Lutz and Andrea McCal Rath and her grandsons, Anuel Warden Goodrich and John Scott Goodrich Jr.
The family would like you to join them for a Celebration of Life for Jeanne on Saturday, October 23, 2021 at 1:00 pm at Events at Sunset (915 ByPass Hwy in Richland, WA).
I have been thinking of you so frequently lately so I began searching and I found you in a garden which is appropriate you loved beautiful gardens so much. We attended high school together in Fairbanks Alaska. She use to come spend the weekends with me One time me and my mom and Jeanne am sat around the kitchen table canning peaches We all told stories and laughed we had so much fun. When she came back for her. 50th class reunion. We got all dressed up and we had a ball. When I was in traction at the Swedish Hospital for a month treatment for a herniated disc Leanne sent me cards and pictures practically every day and then drove up to see me several times. I miss her so much. When I was in Seattle after the eventual fusion of my back I called Jeanne and I was going to drive down and she said this wouldn’t be a good time. I never pried but I knew she wasn’t well. I miss you dear life long friend. 8 remember when you first met george. He was her one and only from that day on. I was so happy for you. I am 82. Now so I will see you soon. Both of our names are Jeanne but I was Jeanne 1 because I was 8 months older. She was Jeanne 2. I love you lots
Miss you so much! Have fun crafting with the angels.
Although we weren’t related by blood, Jeanne has and will always be my aunt. She always had a smile on her face, a kind word on her lips and love in her heart. I will miss her dearly everyday. May she rest in peace.
I will miss my Jeannie, always there for me…since the day we met in 1957…..and my dear sister friend I will see you again…love you so much. Vicki
Nice George, I remember those days when you first started coming around. You where such a bright light in her life.
Jeanne was so creative and talented. I remember sitting for hours watching her mold a lump of clay into something wonderful to decorate your home with. I remember the children’s book she wrote and illustrated, a frog if I remember correctly.
For me she was there a a very vulnerable stage of my life. She filled a gap my mother wasn’t able to fill at the time.
Unfortunately for me as I got older distance separated us so I missed the pleasure of the later years but the love was always there.
I will miss knowing she’s here on earth but heavens rejoicing a new angel had arrived.
Thank you George for giving her a wonderful life.
See you Saturday. ❤️😘

My lifelong friend of 51 years cheated me out of our planned wheel chair races. We often joked about being together in a nursing home setting together & exchanging our memories. So…to all Jeannie’s family and friends I feel your loss of a wonderful woman. I think she’s flying with the fairies that she loved so much. God Bless You my friend.
