In Loving Memory of Carol Swenson (nee McIntosh)
September 19, 1946 – April 4, 2025
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Carol Swenson (nee McIntosh) on April 4, 2025, beloved wife of Keith Swenson of Hitchcock Bay, SK.
Carol was born in Lucky Lake and grew up on the family farm outside of Birsay, SK. She pursued her education in Saskatoon, where she met her husband, Keith. Their early years together took them to Estevan, where Carol worked for the Department of Manpower and Immigration. They later moved to Saskatoon for a time before settling in Assiniboia, SK, where they built a life and raised their family. Carol and Keith owned the local flower shop, and later, she worked as an accounting clerk. She was a familiar face at the curling rink, always supporting Keith, and at the hockey rinks and ball diamonds, cheering on their two sons. After retiring in 2001, Carol and Keith moved to their lake home in Hitchcock Bay, close to her hometown of Birsay.
Carol had a gift for nurturing both plants and people. Her love of gardening was evident in the beautiful yard she tended, and she enjoyed expressing her creativity through various arts and crafts. Their home at Hitchcock Bay, affectionately known as “the cabin” by the grandkids, was the heart of many family gatherings—where Gma’s competitive spirit shone through in spirited card and board games. Above all, she treasured time with her family, creating memories that would be cherished and carried forward with love.
Carol is lovingly remembered by Keith, her husband of 54 years; her sons, Greg (Jennifer) Swenson and Michael (Roxane) Swenson; her six grandchildren, Shawnda (Jayden), Cassidy, Jessica, Alexa, Annika, and Ryan; and her brother, Doug (Debbie) McIntosh.
As per Carol’s wishes, there will be no public service. The family will celebrate her life in a private gathering and invites you to honor her memory by sharing kindness and love, just as she did. The family is being cared for by Outlook Funeral Chapel (306.867.8255). To share memories or leave condolences, please visit .
