Carolyn Mae Swoope was born on December 8, 1945, in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, to the late James Swoope Sr. and Annie Davis Swoope Miller. On November 20, 2025, she peacefully transitioned from this life and entered into God’s eternal care.

Carolyn accepted Christ at an early age and became a devoted member of Mt. Hermon Baptist Church. She faithfully attended worship services for many years, and even after the Covid-19 pandemic, she continue to worship virtually and engage in daily devotional reading.

A proud graduate of John Hay High School, Carolyn later built a meaningful career with the Visiting Nursing Association, serving in the Human Resources Department until her retirement. Her professionalism, compassion, and dedication left a lasting impact on those she worked with.

Carolyn had a generous heart and a joyful spirit. She cherished time spent caring for her family, enjoyed being in the company of friends, and found simple delight in playing the lottery. Her warmth, humor, and unwavering love for those around her will be deeply missed.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, James “Jimmy” Swoope Jr and her stepfather, Herbert Miller.

Carolyn leaves to honor her memory her devoted partner, Ricky Jackson; her nieces, Constance (Laurence III) Davis of Trinity, AL, and Dewanda (Marcus) Jackson of Stonecrest, GA her step-siblings, Antionette Miller of Cleveland, OH, and Carl Miller (Elimara) of Nashville, TN,; her aunt Maud Davis, Cleveland, OH, one great-niece and 3 great-nephews, 7 great-great nieces & nephews and a host of special cousins, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever cherish her life and legacy.
