Meghan Susan Mcswain

Meghan Susan McSwain, age 62 passed away peacefully on August 7, 2023. She was born November 6, 1960, in Charlotte N.C. to Milton S McSwain Jr & Margaret G McSwain on their 6Th wedding anniversary.

Meghan graduated from South Mecklenburg High School before attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she graduated with a BS of Nursing. Although Meghan attended other universities, she was a lifelong Tarheel and made it clear her blood ran Carolina Blue. She loved Tarheel basketball and became very passionate when watching a game.

Her first career was in Nursing.  She enjoyed her patients and also enjoyed teaching.  But she eventually realized she had another calling and attended Campbell University to earn a Masters in Divinity.  She went on to be an ordained minister and worked as a hospice chaplain. Her passion in life was caring for her terminally ill patients and their families.

Meghan’s laugh was big and boisterous, and she felt laughter was good for the soul. As Alzheimer’s slowly took her away, her laughter still could ring out.

Meghan was very happy to become an Aunt and loved spending time with her nephews. She was very proud of everything they did and was their biggest fan.

Meghan loved the mountains and beach and enjoyed being out in nature. She was very friendly and enjoyed spending time speaking to people and strangers quickly became friends. Rarely did people forget meeting Meghan.

Meghan is survived by her brother Sandor (Wei) McSwain, her two nephews Milton S. McSwain Jr and M. Shepherd McSwain as well as many cousins.

A celebration of Meghan’s life and faith will be held August 25, 2023 at 11:00 am at Saint John’s Lutheran Church, 740 North Center St, Statesville NC, 28677
