Linda grew up in the Cleveland, Ohio area and graduat- ed from Wo o s t e r College in Ohio in 1968. L i n d a married the Linda Swarz one and only man in her life, Gary Swarz, in 1970. She and Gary moved to Florence in the mid 1990s after enjoying life and work adventures in Texas, Arizona and Portland, Ore. Those who knew the couple will remember them for their continued adventures in the Harley world, motorhome trav- els, Rhododendron Club, menagerie of birds and many, many other collectibles. Linda was an avid seeker of the blown glass floats the first year they were introduced for discovery in the Florence area, finding a record number. After Gary’s death in 2010, Linda joined the Rotary Club of Florence, Florence Tennis Center, Coastal Fitness and thoroughly enjoyed her friends’ company for coffee dates and for shopping. She was known for her flare for fashion, accessorized with unique shoes, jewelry and hats that only Linda could pull off. And let us not forget her always artfully painted finger- nails that she loved to show off. Linda moved to Glastonbury, CT., in early 2015 to be closer to her sister and her family. There, she became involved in the CT Audubon Society, Chamber of Commerce, two book clubs, art lessons, spirited group discus- sions on current events and volunteered working the polls for three elections. “Remember me with a smile, celebrate our friendship, keep memories of me in your heart.” PHILLIPS—Liberty Belle (Haines) Phillips, formerly of Florence, passed away Jan. 10, 2017.
