Donna Mercier Swett
April 24, 1946 – April 15, 2025
Donna Mercier Swett, 78, of Sun City Center (SCC), FL, and Weld, Maine, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, April 15, 2025. Donna was born April 24, 1946, in Dexter, Maine. She was the daughter of Woodrow and Sylvia (Poulin) Mercier.
Donna graduated from Schenck High School in East Millinocket, Maine, in 1964. She attended school through the fifth grade in Rumford, sixth grade through her junior year in Dixfield, and her senior year in East Millinocket, Maine. She next attended Husson College for one year.
In 1966, Donna married Ozro (Ozzie) S. Swett Jr. They were married for 58 years and together raised three daughters. Donna worked at various jobs including a chambermaid at Weld Inn; data processing at the Oxford Paper Co. in Rumford; at the General Electric Co. in Burlington, VT.; data entry at the IRS in Ogden, UT; and at a private firm in Manchester, NH; and handled construction loans at a bank in Dayton, Ohio. An avid reader, Donna also enjoyed playing cards, especially duplicate bridge; watching true crime shows; watching sporting events/activities involving her children and grandchildren; spending time at her camp in Weld; and eating good food - especially the family clam and lobster bakes at camp.
Donna will be remembered for her kindness and generosity to others and will truly be missed by all who have had the privilege of knowing her. Donna is survived by her husband, Ozzie Swett; her daughter, Laura Pearce, and her husband, Michael, and their children, Julie and Alexander, of Essex Jct., VT; her daughter, Marie Kendrick, and her husband, Jerry Bocock, and two daughters, Kelly, (daughters Octavia and Victoria) and Katelyn, of Beavercreek, Ohio.; her daughter, Ann Litz, and her husband, Daniel, and their children, Kayla, and her husband, Levi Spencer, (son August), Joshua, and, Bradley, of Beavercreek, Ohio; her brother-in-law, Tom Wheeler, of Weld ME; her sister, Ann Beaumont, of Cape Elizabeth, ME; her sister-in-law, Sandra, and her husband, Bruce North, of SCC, FL.; her sister-in-law, Donna Dickson, of SCC, FL.; her sister-in-law, Norma, and her husband, Herbie Noyes, of Dixfield, ME; and several nieces and nephews.
