Obituary: Frances Baskerville Tanner Swift Frances was born 2, 1915 in Sherman, Texas. She made her trip home to the Lord , 12, 2014 in Pilot Point, Texas. A Service for Frances will be held on , 19, at 2:00 PM at Laurel Land under the pastoral direction of Rev. Nita Allen of Oak Cliff Christian Church. Special music will be performed by Mr. Harold Clampit, also of Oak Cliff Christian Church. Frances is preceded in death by beloved husband William C. Swift; her parents Frank B. and Ruby Tanner; siblings James G. Tanner and wife Beulah, Eloise V. Stanton and husband J. H., Elizabeth C. Tanner,( two young siblings Grace and Robert died early in life, as an infant and 18 months respectively); sister-in-law Beverly Tanner; daughter Frances B. Cannon; grandson Eddy F. Edwards. She is survived by son Robert J. Swift and wife Betty; daughter Margaret Rose Sypert and husband Clifton; brother Paul Tanner; sons-in-law Joe Cannon & C. B. Edwards; grandchildren William C. Jackson, Anna Marie Garza, Phil Sypert and wife Stacy, Angela M. Wanstock and fiancée Joe Denning; great grandchildren Natalie Sypert, Lawson Sypert, Caitlyn Denning, Alyssa Garza, Emily Denning; And many beloved nephews, nieces and extended family. Born in an at-home birth in Sherman, Texas, Frances was the eldest of seven children born to Frank and Ruby Tanner. Her brothers and sisters called Frances the Angel of the family. As the eldest, she took on some parenting responsibilities at an early age when her mother became ill. Growing up, Frances had a natural artistic talent that was evident from an early age. As she began attending school, her first grade teacher recognized her talent and was amazed as Frances made sketches of her classmates. Portraitures were her passion. She eventually put this on the back burner to for steady work as an artist to help the family finances. Frances graduated from Krozier Tech Technical High School in Dallas, Texas, class of 1937. She finished at an older age than was typical, as she had become ill and was unable to finish with her peers. Marriage to Bill. On 19, 1937, she married her soul mate, William C. Swift. Bill persuaded her to stay in Dallas to marry him and start a family. She sacrificed her opportunities to study art in New York and in Europe, never looking back. To talk about Frances or Bill without the other is difficult. seemed to share one heart, one mind their life’s passions – family and serving in humility. Together they had purchased some land in a heavily wooded area of Dallas, Oak Cliff, what is now 1226 Idaho, near the Dallas Zoo. Together they worked the land, cleared trees for the house to be built, and for roads to be built. While clearing the land, they had piled the trees to be used as fire wood. At one point, the piles of trees went missing, Bill’s comment to Frances was “Someone needed that wood more than us”. Typical selflessness these two seemed to always be able to model. Eventually, the two moved into the home well before it was finished, as they had had enough of the complaints from less than hospitable neighbors in their apartment building. received complaints over the noise of the radio, which the two played at a low level for some entertainment, but the likely culprit of the complaints causing the most trouble was their howling pup. Moving into the house early presented some challenges, showering outdoors using water hoses, not to mention the lack of other plumbing amenities… Margaret recalls Frances’ baptism. Margaret Rose, as Frances always called her, recalls that she was likely about 4 years old at the time. ’d all walk a few blocks to a little Baptist Church for services. At one particular service, Frances felt the call to get baptized. On the day of her baptism, for some odd reason, they all merrily walked to church, not realizing that she’d be dunked that very day, no extra clothes, soaking wet, chose to leave the service early that day, “squishing” all the way home. She was a pioneer in many ways. She became involved in working with research into Dyslexia in an effort to help her son Robert in school. She poured herself into the effort, worked with doctors in ground breaking research and techniques for identifying and teaching people suffering from this previously hidden condition. Frances worked on Illustrating for presentations, research and publication to support the doctors research at the University of Plano. The doctors would have a need for illustrations, many times she’d turn them around overnight for their presentations and lectures – seems she was the front-runner of presentations, the Power Point without the aid of the yet to be invented digital media we have available today. Commercial Art – first woman commercial artist in Dallas… working as contractor in many commercial art studios in Dallas, she started her own one-woman outfit, Frances B Swift Studios. She also had the help of husband Bill, her own personal one man engineering department. As an artist, Frances was highly sought after for her designs, creativity, and her speed to delivery. Most times she was given cart blanche to deliver her designs and ideas. He helped her with one of the first motorized, moving displays, complete with music, for a Woolworth’s Christmas display. Frances also helped many artists and studios, freely sharing her expertise, tips, tricks and ingenuity, helping pave the way to many others success. In 1963, when John F. Kennedy was shot in Dallas, she was greatly impacted. She promptly packed up her art supplies, and quickly set up at the scene on Elm Street, carefully sketching details of the scene, Bill in tow, taking photographs. Frances spent tireless hours completing a 4 by 8 foot painting of the scene. She also wrote a poem and sent it the Jackie Kennedy, receiving correspondence back. She remained very close to her siblings. She and her sister Elizabeth were known in some circles as the Gold Dust Twins. On one occasion in particular, there continued... |
