Jeannie Davis Swart

Jeannie Davis Swart passed away at the age of 81.

Born in Gadsden and raised in Albertville, Jeannie graduated from Albertville High School in 1962 and went on to earn her degree from Jacksonville State University in 1966, where she was also a proud cheerleader. 

She later completed her Master’s in Education and dedicated much of her career to teaching sixth grade at Alabama Avenue Middle School. After retiring, she relocated to Auburn, where she enjoyed her later years.

Jeannie deeply cherished time with her family. She loved reading, game shows, seafood, good food, and attending church. Her greatest joy was being with her grandchildren—there was truly nothing she wouldn’t do for them. She also took immense pride in her son’s accomplishments and treasured any time the whole family could be together.

A lifelong Auburn Tiger fan, Jeannie’s passion for Auburn University and its athletic teams was unmatched. Wholeheartedly, she believed in Auburn and loved it!

She is survived by her loving husband, John; her son, Joe; daughter-in-law, Mary Rose; granddaughter, Dakota Anne; and grandson, Davis. She was preceded in death by her father, Dr. Joe M. Davis; her mother, Martha Jean Singleton Davis; and her brother, Bill Davis.

Consistent with her wishes, there will be no wake or formal funeral service. Jeannie was a devoted supporter of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and memorial donations in her honor are welcomed and appreciated.

She will be laid to rest during a private family service at Memorial Hill Cemetery in Albertville.
