Duane G. Swanson Obituary
We are sad to announce that on February 3, 2021 we had to say goodbye to Duane G. Swanson (Dows, Iowa). Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Duane G. Swanson to show support.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Betty Swanson (Hackbarth) and Raymond Swanson; and his nieces and nephews, Tony and Karie. He is survived by: his wife Jean Andersen; his daughter Terri Nelson (Jeff); his granddaughters, Emma and Ally of Ames; his daughter Amy Schultes (Jim); his grandsons, Collin and Tyson of Halbur; his siblings, Karen Noelck (Ivan), Virgil Swanson (Jill), Ruby Rhines (Larry), Edward Swanson (Kim) and Linda Allen (Jon); and his parent-in-law Beverly Lange (Al). He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, and amazing friends.
In lieu of flowers the family requests that memorials be made to the following: Franklin County Fair (which Duane hasn't missed since showing hogs there as a young boy in 4-H), the Coulter Fire Department's new building (where Duane served as a volunteer firefighter for several years), or to the Hospice Center of North Iowa who took amazing care of him during his time as a patient.
