Henrietta Swager, 93, of Amery, WI was called to heaven on Friday, June 14, 2024 while at The Estates At Bloomington nursing home in Bloomington, MN.

Henrietta was born on February 17, 1931 to Joseph and Cora Lehmann. She grew up in Centuria, WI and attended Unity schools. On May 4, 1950, she married Bernard Swager and they had 4 children. They originally started out as farmers and transitioned to factory work early in their marriage. They worked in many local factories including Northern Metal and Polaris. After Henrietta retired, she kept busy working as a greeter in the St. Croix Falls Walmart for over a decade.

Henrietta was always filled with love, energy, and rarely stood still. Aside from being heavily involved with her family, she spent a lot of time with friends helping anyone she could with a multitude of projects from sewing hunting clothes, reupholstering furniture and cars, to cooking family dinners on Sundays while family played cards. Most of her projects revolved around sewing as that was one of her biggest passions in life. She was also a very devoted Lutheran and spent a great deal of time at the church and was always there for anyone in times of need.
