Carol A. Swann was born in the Bronx, NY, on October 26, 1943, to Edna Hallums, Edward Grimes, her grandmother Mildred Hallums & Brother Lawrence Parks, all of whom preceded her in passing.

Carol attended Cummings & Sammuel Ach Schools. She had music endeavors with King Records, writing & recording songs like, "So Many Days" by The Vonns, & sang lead for the group "The Drivers."

She was employed by UC, Hyatt Hotel Cincinnati & Marriott Mason. Carol was a hard-worker & strong-willed woman; she instilled these traits in her children.

Carol did not like caterpillars, nor did she like her food being touched by bare hands. She was very feisty, outspoken, humorously sarcastic & had some of the funniest sayings. "Come here, let me tell you som'n in your mouth," and "Before the 1st thaw." Her favorite foods were ribs with anything, any kind of chocolate, souse meat with crackers, limburger cheese, butter pecan and peach ice cream, Pepsi, and cream soda. She loved scary movies & books, (Steven King & Alfred Hitchcock). "Shoot 'Em Up" cowboy movies were her favorite. As she greeted her grandchildren, she'd say "Gimme some shugg," or "I'm gonna tickle your neck."

On your birthday, you were sure to get a call. When you answered, she sang the "Happy Birthday Babe-Bull" song to you in her very OWN special way. Mom's unwavering love was unconditional towards all.

Carol is survived by her children, Robert E. Swann, Tonya J. Swann, Cynthia D. Swann, Markia M. Swann, and Devin A. Swann; One aunt, Jean Goldsmith of NY, NY; grandsons, Jason Davis, Terence Swann, Marcus Swann, Anthony Harris II, Brandon Giles, George Davis, and Chris Montgomery; granddaughters, La'Neitra Swann, Dominique Swann, Tarissa Swann, Leah Davis, Jazmin Woods, Nebula Blackwell, and Stephanie Grimes; great grandsons, La'Don Swann, La'Darian Blackwell, Lavar DuBose, Ian & AJ Montgomery, Uriyah Woods, Ryan & Carter Hutsell, Andrew McGowund, Eliah & Davion Smith, Kamron Giles; great granddaughters, Nioco DuBose, Alivia & Lyndon Swann, Khepri Steele, (twins) Aniya & Aiyanna Montgomery, Lai'la & Alayna Swann, Kaydence Davis, Briley Davis, Brandazhia Abernathy, Bri'elle Giles, Jasmine & Emryn Davis; great great grandson, Ny'Air Dubose; Special friends for over 50 years, our aunts, Carol Lackey & Abbie Jean Clark.
