Swallow, Ethel Burr Ethel Mandeville Burr Swallow, our loving and caring mother and grandmother, passed away to be reunited with her Savior and loved ones on Monday, August 29, 2005. She died of congestive heart failure at the home of her daughter in Yakima, Washington. Living nearly 95 years, blessed with 5 children, 35 grandchildren, 47 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great grandchildren, she provided her family with love and support and teachings that will endure forever. Ethel was born on October 15, 1910 in Pasadena, CA to Merrill Jackson and Helen Noyes Burr. Her early years were primarily spent in Altadena, CA and Hawthorne, Nevada until 3rd grade. The family moved to Carson City, NV when her father was appointed deputy superintendent of Nevada schools. There she began playing basketball and developed a love of swimming and nature in the Girl Reserves. Her mother s musical ability on violin and piano instilled in her a love of music and she sang in Glee Club during her H.S. and college years. She spent her H.S. senior year in San Jacinto, Ca. and graduated from San Jacinto High School. She attended Riverside Jr. College, (CA) and worked as a waitress at the Mission Inn and Lake Tahoe, where she spent 6 wonderful summers. Ethel graduated from UCLA in 1933 with her degree in Elementary Teaching. A year later she took a job at a country school in Shoshone, Nevada. There she met and married Richard Mortenson Swallow in 1935, and they lived on the Swallow ranch at the base of Mt. Wheeler, NV for 27 years. There 5 children were born to them, 4 boys and 1 girl. Ranch life included cooking meals for the hired help, taking care of the garden and chickens, feeding "bummer" lambs, and spending time at the clothesline. Ethel moved to Provo, Utah, after a divorce in 1962. Returning to waitressing and college for a short while, she then stepped back into the teaching profession. She was employed by the Alpine School District and taught Special Education until her retirement. During those years, she continued her involvement in the American Assoc. of University Women (AAUW) and served on the board of directors in Provo. After retirement, she continued her zest for live and learning and bargain shopping. She especially enjoyed attending education week at BYU. Her children and grandchildren were provided with amazing clothing bargains throughout the years, as well as instruction on proper nutrition, which she maintained a keen interest in (and was a great example of) throughout her life. (Photograph above was taken at age 90.) She enjoyed swimming until her eighties, was an avid reader, enjoying sewing and watching the Lawrence Welk Show. She took pleasure in remembering birthdays and sending cards, even up until her last year. She delighted in the flowers of spring, the birds of summer and the fresh fruit of fall. She felt great affection toward all animals, especially dogs and birds. Deeply devoted to her children and grandchildren, she was able to live with or near them in her later years, which was a great blessing to them. Always doing for others, she continued up until the last few months of her life to help with dishes and laundry, and filled many a crossword book. She became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during her early eighties, and 4 of her 5 children served LDS missions. Ethel was preceded in death by her parents, son Sylvan Swallow of American Fork, Utah, sister Josephine B. Hees, brother Charles N. Burr, and great-grandsons Riley and Brent. In-laws George and Lydia Swallow and Arlo and Bea Swallow and Lou and Golden Swallow Johnson are also remembered.
