Nancy L. Swan has been hired to be Executive Secretary of the Grace United Methodist Church office. Her coming coincides with Thelma Hull moving to a part-time basis along with Anne Wood.
Nancy Swan was born in Alton and grew up in that area, attending McKendree College where she was graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in Music. She has since done additional graduate study at Southern Illinois University and Southern Methodist University.
Miss Swan comes to Grace from Tulsa, Oklahoma where she has been a full-time staff person in the music department of the 4300 – member First United Methodist Church. Prior to that time she was for four years Executive Secretary to the president of the Chilton Corporation in Dallas.
Miss Swan has been an active part of the United Methodist Church all her life, including a period as short-term missionary in Malaysia. She holds teacher certification in both Illinois and Texas for grades K-12.
We heartily welcome Nancy Louise Swan to our neighborhood.
