Robina was born on April 26, 1922, in Blackbutt Queensland, Australia, daughter of Charles and Isabel (Douglas) Ogilvie. She met Herbert J. Swanson during WWII and the couple was married on April 4, 1944, in Brisbane, Australia. Herb returned home after the war and Robina was able to join him in 1946. They made their home in Iron Mountain and raised a family of six children. Robina was a homemaker who enjoyed gardening, knitting, baking, and most importantly, spending time with family, especially at family gatherings. Robina is survived by two sons, Robert (Beth) Swanson of Iron Mountain, MI and Alan Swanson of Kaufman, TX; four daughters, Catherine (Allen) Rogers of Albuquerque, NM, Robyn Swanson of Iron Mountain, MI, Carol (Kim) Jensen of Kingsford, MI, and Sally Rogers of Kaufman, TX; 11 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; two great-great grandchildren; one sister in Australia; a sister-in-law, Arline Ellis; and many nieces and nephews. Along with her parents and her husband Herbert, who passed in 1999, Robina is preceded in death by two grandsons, Robert A. Rogers and Jason Rogers; one son-in-law, Loyd Rogers; and five brothers and seven sisters. Private family services will be held with burial at Cemetery Park in Iron Mountain. A public visitation and memorial service will be held at a later date and announced at that time.
