Lena Joyce Swinson

Lena Joyce Jordan Swinson, age 87, of Wallace, NC passed from this life to her eternal rest on Thursday, May 15, 2025.  She was born on November 6, 1937, in Sampson County; the daughter of the late Bernice and Viola Jordan.  She was also preceded in death by her husband Livie Tommie Swinson; her son Livie Austin Swinson and brothers Graham Jordan, Marion Jordan and K.D. Jordan.

Mrs. Swinson was a dedicated member of Wallace Church of God where she served wherever she was needed.

Left to cherish her memory is her daughter Elaine Swinson Colonna of Wallace; grandchildren Damon Willets and wife Xena, Jacob Swinson and Joshua Swinson along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends that loved Joyce dearly. 

Joyce was a caring mother and grandmother who loved her family with all her heart.  Being a diligent homemaker and great cook, she filled her home with love and welcomed all who entered.  Joyce was also a hard worker whether she was taking care of others or using her talents as an expert seamstress.  She was a woman of uncommon character, beauty and grace; and to those who knew her, “an instrument of God’s love on this earth.”  Joyce will surely be missed but treasured memories of her will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, May 19, 2025, at Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home Wallace Chapel with the Reverend Todd Narron officiating. 

There will be a private burial.
