Sandra "Sandy" Swain

April 12, 1947 - July 7, 2017

Sandra “Sandy” Swain passed away on July 7th after a lengthy illness. She was predeceased by her husband Larry Swain, her father Charles H. Buehler Jr and her grandson Christopher Taunton. Sandy was born in San Francisco, CA, and resided in Galloway Township, NJ most of her adult life. Sandy’s kindness and compassion was felt by all those around her. She was a teacher of 36 years, first in Absecon, then at the Hebrew Academy in Margate and finally in Galloway Township, where she taught most of her career. Sandy was active in her church at St. Marks and All Saints, as a lay reader, altar guild member, former vestry member and senior warden. After retirement, Sandy was a volunteer at the Cape May County Zoo, where she loved caring for the amphibians. Above all, Sandy’s first love was her family; a mother to Terri Wallace, Sharon Swain (Harry), and Tracy Swain; grandmother to Melissa Medova (Cory), Alexandra Bryan (Matt), Casey Bryan and Olivia Swain; great-grandmother to Jack Miller and Aliana Medova; and sister to Dawn Ryan. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Cape May County Zoological Society, PO Box 864, Cape May Court House, NJ 08210. All are welcome to come celebrate her life.
