Londa J. Swan, 60, of Eau Claire, died unexpectedly at her home on Sunday, August 11, 2013. She was born on August 20, 1952, in Shell Lake, WI, to Donald and Beverlee (Taubman) Bruce. She attended elementary and junior high school in Costa Mesa, CA, before returning to Shell Lake with her family. She graduated from Shell Lake High School. On August 4, 1973, she married David Swan at Faith Lutheran Church in Spooner, WI. They made their home in Eau Claire. She worked at First Wisconsin National Bank in Eau Claire for several years before opening a family daycare in her home, which she ran for 30+ years. Londa was passionate about her family, friends, and children. She enjoyed talking daily with her daughters and grandchildren in Texas, her sister in Shell Lake, and her many friends. Her time spent with her many 'cherubs' that she provided loving daycare for in her home was also precious to her. Londa was one of those unique individuals who chose to see the good in everyone. She loved to travel, take quiet drives looking at houses, road trips with friends, and most importantly spoiling her grandchildren. Londa was proud of the fact that she was a cancer survivor. Although she beat cancer, God had other plans for Londa. She will be missed by many. Londa is survived by her husband of 40 years, Dave; daughters, Jessica (Jenna) Swan and Kristin Swan, of Temple, TX; grandchildren, RyLee and Camden Swan of Temple TX; brothers, Mark (Rose) Bruce of Shell Lake, WI and Don (Laura) Bruce of Shell Lake, WI; sister, Connie (David) Zaloudek of Shell Lake, WI; special friend, Holly Erickson of Lindstrom, MN; and many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents. Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, August 14, 2013, at Lenmark-Gomsrud-Linn Funeral Home, 814 First Ave, Eau Claire. Funeral Service will be at 11 a.m. on Thursday, August 15, 2013, at Hope Lutheran Church, 2226 Eddy Lane, Eau Claire with Pastor Jamie Briske officiating. Visitation will also be one hour prior to the service at church. In lieu of flowers memorials will be given to Londa's favorite charities.
