Doris Swanson

March 17, 1930 - February 17, 2026

Doris Jean Swanson, 95, born in Aitkin MN on March 17, 1930, passed away peacefully on the morning of February 17, 2026. Doris is preceded in death by her parents, Gotfred and Elsie Johnson, her husband Roy, daughter Barbara, son Jerome (Jerry), and her sister Violet. Doris is survived by her sister Rose Hildebrand, and children Greg (Rhonda), Kevin (Soutiya), Floyd (Barbara), and Heather Swanson. Grandchildren: Bruce, Erik, Samantha (TJ), Sam, Noah, Lauryn and Sofia, as well as many nieces, nephews and close friends.

Above all else, Doris loved her kids and grandkids very much. She enjoyed cooking holiday meals, discovering new recipes on the computer, and having everyone around. She always had a cup of coffee ready when needed and truly enjoyed visiting with friends who dropped by. Later in life, Doris enjoyed reading the newspaper cover to cover, staying up to date with the latest news, putting together 1,000-piece puzzles and trying new foods.

There will be a graveside service at Bethlehem Lutheran Church cemetery in Aitkin later this spring where she will be laid to rest next to her beloved husband Roy.

I highly recommend the team at Evans Nordby. This past weekend, they assisted as we buried my mom. Twelve years ago, they assisted as we buried my dad. Brittney and the staff are so comforting, easy to work with and compassionate. They make every decision simple, and the whole process as painless...

Evans-Nordby funeral chapel in Osseo, MN handled my husband’s cremation and Celebration of Life service in July of 2023. I can’t say enough positive things about all aspects of my interactions with them. They reached out to help every step of the way—from planning the Celebration of Life...

It is a place of compassion, sincerity, professionalism, and staff who go above and beyond their call of duty. Our family has sadly used both chapels over the past months.

These people are wonderful. They went over and above in every possible way to help us with funeral arrangements, the visitation, service and burial, despite the fact that we had a limited budget. They were patient, kind, and treated us like family. This is a funeral home you can trust. Thank you,...

Evans-Nordby is our hometown funeral home. All of the long-time residents of Osseo have used Evans-Nordby because they are part of the local family here in Osseo and they care for our loved ones in a way no others could. They're great and have been serving our community for years.
