Betty Ray Lacy Swan, 75, native of Columbia, KY (1942-2018) 
She was an accomplished artist who often remarked that she never grew up. She captured the nostalgic scenes and places of Kentucky by brush with oils on canvas, created Belsnickels from items gathered around the farm, and learned to play the dulcimer and share its rich history. An inspiration to her family and all who met her, she had a passion for art, antiques and culture and for the importance of preserving history for future generations.
