The Record  September 24, 2004
Lodi
Katharine D. Swift 
July 19, 1917 - September 21, 2004



Mrs. Katharine Daniel Swift of Lodi passed away Tuesday September 21, 2004 at 
the age of 87 surrounded by her loving family. It is fitting that she would 
leave this world on the last day of summer, her favorite season. Affectionately 
known by her family as Ganno, Katie was born July 19, 1917, in Berkeley, 
California to J. Franklin and Menetta Daniel. She graduated from U.C. Berkeley 
with a Bachelor's Degree in History. Katie was a member of Gamma Phi Beta 
Sorority and the American Association of University Women. She was a volunteer 
for the Lodi Memorial Hospital Emperor Auxiliary for many years and was also 
instrumental in founding the Friends of the Library of Lodi. Her life-long love 
of world travel began at the age of six when she spent an entire year 
traveling around the world with her family. During that trip, she attended 
school in France followed by additional schooling in Germany. Since then, she 
has traveled to Europe many times as well as the Middle East and Southeast 
Asia. In her later years, she loved traveling to Mexico with her family. Katie 
loved her family, friends, home, music, reading, gardening and playing bridge. 
She will be best remembered as a wonderful person who touched everyone who met 
her. She will be dearly missed.
She is survived by two daughters, Sally Simpson and husband, Chuck, of Lodi, 
Susan Franecke and husband, Edmund, of Bend, OR; one sister, Elizabeth 
O'Donnell of Davis; three grand-children, Stephen Michael Simpson and wife 
Marne of Lodi; Jeffrey David Simpson of Lodi; Rebecca Susan Ramsay of Lebanon, 
OR; four great grandchildren, Channing and Camryn Simpson of Lodi; Emily Comer 
and Madison Ramsay of Lebanon, OR; and loving nieces and nephews. She was 
preceded in death by her husband, Theodore John Swift, Jr. in 1973, and two 
brothers, John Franklin Daniel III and David Martin Daniel.
A private Memorial Service will be held at the Mountain View Cemetery in 
Oakland, California. Arrangements are by the Lodi Funeral Home.
Memorial contributions can be sent to the International Waldenstrom's 
Macrogloblinemia Foundation, 3932D Swift Road, Sarasota, FL 34231-6541 
(www.iwmf.com). In lieu of contributions, you can plant a flower in your garden 
in her memory.
