RACHEL MAYBERRY SMITH SWOAP
GREENSBORO – Mrs. Rachel Mayberry Swoap went into the presence of God and her Savior the Lord Jesus Christ, on Friday, September 12, having lived and enjoyed life to the fullest. Her bright cheerful smile and kind ways will be very much missed by all who knew her.
Rachel was born to Dorothy Shular Mayberry and Herman Mayberry on November 11, 1944, and lived in Greensboro all of her life. She was predeceased by her Dad and Mom. In addition to her adoring husband, Geray S. Swoap, Rachel is survived by her son Eric Smith, his wife Stephanie, her son Daryl Smith, his fiancé Kendra-Ryder White, grandson Steven Smith, sister Bonita M. Smith, brother-in-law Bobby Smith, and her niece Angela S. Armstrong. Also numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. She loved and "adopted" her husband's family, daughter Stephanie S. Phelps, son Stephen Swoap, and granddaughter Brooke Phelps, and grandsons Hayden and Nathaniel Swoap.
Her sense of humor, wit, and ability to get all the joy possible out of life was amazing. She strove to let her Lord shine through her life and hoped to be a blessing to others, making their lives better. She was a faithful witness to God's love, mercy, grace, and plan of salvation. John 3:16.
