Rosalyn Joy
Swagman
Dec 4, 1935 — May 26, 2026
Rosalyn Joy Swagman, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on May 26, 2026, at the age of 90.
Rosalyn was born on December 4, 1935. In January 1975, she was born again when she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior, a decision that shaped the remainder of her life with faith, love, and devotion.
She was the cherished wife of Donald Swagman, with whom she shared 71 loving years of marriage. Rosalyn devoted much of her life to caring for her family as a homemaker. She also provided excellent banking service throughout her years in Michigan and Naples, Florida, where she was appreciated for her kindness, professionalism, and caring spirit.
Rosalyn was preceded in death by her parents, John and Gertrude Mulder; her brother, Mark Mulder; and her great-granddaughter, Natalie Paull.
She is survived by her sister and brother-in-law, MerryBeth and Ray Dykstra.
She is also survived by her four daughters: Cheryl and David Dreyer; Barbara and Kim Rose; Gloria Erickson; and Donna and Thomas Paull.
Rosalyn leaves behind a loving legacy through her grandchildren and great-grandchildren:
Cheryl's family: Dale and Jennifer Bowman, and their children, Providence and Calvin Bowman; Justin and Sarah Behm, and their children, Luke, Nathan, and Peter Behm.
Barbara's family: Brian and Diana Rose, and their children, Drea, Corbin, and Bohdan Rose; Mason and Megan Rose, and their children, Brady, Ellie, Emma, Ava, and Tanner Rose.
Gloria's family: Leonard and Julia Arambam; Mark Erickson; and Steven Erickson and fiancée, Gloria Fieneman.
Donna's family: Thomas II and Stephanie Paull, and their children, Noelle, Thomas III, Naomi, and Neilia; Benjamin and Courtney Paull, and their children, Hayden, Scarlett, Benjamin Kyle II, Remi, and Olivia Paull; and Lewis and Denise Spikes, and their children, Jaxson and Jasmine Spikes.
Rosalyn is now free from the struggles of this earthly life and rests peacefully in the presence of her Savior. She was deeply loved and will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
