Obituary

Patricia Anne (Miller) Swartwood, 71, of Lancaster, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, January 15, 2025.

Born and raised in Lancaster, she was the daughter of the late Amos R. and Jeannette (Dietrich) Miller.

A graduate of Lampeter-Strasburg High School, Patricia earned a Bachelor's Degree from Ursinus College and a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Penn State.

Professionally, Patricia worked for over 3 years as a Police Communications Operator (PCO) at the Pennsylvania State Police Troop J HQ Lancaster Station. She later worked as an administrator for West Lampeter Township and then as an assistant deputy director for the Lancaster County Purchasing Department. Never one to let retirement slow her down, Patricia most recently worked part-time as a substitute teacher in Lampeter-Strasburg School District, where she loved teaching students at Hans Herr Middle School. In addition, she was the president of the Auxiliary of the Retired Pennsylvania State Police Association.

When not working, Patricia enjoyed gardening and traveling.

Surviving is her loving husband of 48 years, Robert T. of Lancaster, and their son, Robert M., husband of Holly Swartwood, of Harrisburg.
