Bev was born in Akron, Ohio on August 24, 1948 to Gordon and Jean (Adair) Swain. She was a lifetime resident of the Norton area. She graduated from Norton High School in 1966, and from Ohio University Magna Cum Laude with a BA in Education in 1970. Bev was married to Ronald D.

After retirement she enjoyed sewing and was an active member of the KISS Quilt Guild for 20+ years, Norton Women’s Club, Norton Women’s Tennis, and several other local organizations. She made quilts for the Women’s Club Xmas raffle for 16 years. She enjoyed traveling with her husband and friends. Her real joy came from her grandchildren Branden, Amelia, & Ivey.
Bev was proceeded in death by her parents Gordon and Jean Swain, and by her son Jonathan Paul Stevens. She is survived by her husband Ron; her brothers, Gordon Dennis Swain, Jeffery Swain, and James Swain and their families. She will be greatly missed by her sons Thomas J.
