Clovis Jones Swokowski - LHS Class of 1949

Clovis Melva Swokowski went to be with her Lord on May 31, 2011.  She has resided in York, S.C. for the last two years of her life with her daughter Kathy and son-in-law, Henry Burrow.
Clovis was born May 11, 1931 in Leavenworth, Kansas, the daughter of Howard L. and Bertha May Smart Jones.
She married George Swokowski on February 10, 1951.
All who knew Clovis knew that she loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with her whole heart. She not only believed in prayer but she practiced the discipline of prayer by daily interceding for her entire family.

She was preceded in death by her father, Howard L. Jones and her sister, Gloria Kay Day.
