Pat is survived by her children, Shawn D. Modula of Missoula, MT, Adrienne C. Lytchfield of Moncks Corner, SC, and Arthur F. Swanson of Apex, NC; siblings, Jean Modula Riggs of Layton, UT and Lawrence R. Modula of Ogden, UT. 

A private water disposition will be held off the coast of Hunting Island on February 16, 2020. A celebration of life will be held by her family in South Carolina on February 22, 2020.  

Pat Swanson’s family is asking those who wish to honor her memory to donate art supplies to any children’s home, facility or charity that would encourage at-risk children and teens to find their creative self. 

Arrangements entrusted to McAlister-Smith Funeral Home, 869 St. James Avenue, Goose Creek, SC 29445.
