Charlene Pruitt Swan, 73, of Fountain Hill, went to her heavenly home on Monday, September 21, 2020, surrounded by her loving family.  Mrs. Swan was born on August 1, 1947, in Hamburg.  She was a member of the Hamburg United Pentecostal Church and taught Sunday school at the Hamburg and Crossett United Pentecostal Church for many years.  Her prayer and greatest desire was to see all of her children and grandchildren full of the Holy Ghost and Baptized in the name of Jesus, just like the bible says.  She now passes her mantle to the next generation.  She loved Jesus above all.  She loved witnessing about the Lord to everyone she met.  She was a light to many in their darkest times and an anchor to her family.  Lovingly known as “Beaner”, her family adored her.  She left a legacy to her family by being a Godly example and a true example of a virtuous woman, as described in the bible.  She enjoyed working in her yard and flower beds, fishing, camping, watching birds from the window, shopping and her women’s trips, especially to Branson, Missouri. She loved spending time with her husband and family.
