Kudos to All!

 



Connie Swanson passed away on September 2nd, just a few months after learning she had lung cancer.  Connie was 90 years old, a Life Master and an active member of Unit 533's Board of Directors for several years.  She will be sorely missed by her bridge partners, as well as her opponents, for her infectious laugh and wonderful outlook on life. Connie originally hailed from Seattle where she was a successful travel agent. She travelled all over the world. Connie had eight children with her first husband David, and two step-children with her second husband Gordon. Following retirement, she and Gordon moved to Palm Desert twenty-five years ago. Gordon passed away in 2014. Connie is survived by six of her ten children and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
