Memorial service Wednesday for Berner V. Swanson

A memorial service for retired Evangelical Covenant Church minister Berner V. Swanson, 88, will be conducted at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 10, at Calvary Lutheran Church. He died Tuesday.

Swanson was born June 20, 1922, in Turlock, CA. He earned an associate's degree at North Park Junior College, a Bachelor of Arts from San Francisco State University and a Master of Divinity from North Park Theological Seminary. He was ordained in 1961.

He married his wife, Harriet, on June 13, 1953.

He served Covenant churches in Kane, PA; Stanton, IA; Stockton, CA; Braham, MN, and Waverly, NE, until his retirement in 1987. 

In addition to his wife of 57 years, he is survived by three children: daughters Kerstin and Karlene, and a son, Gordon.

Visitation will be observed from 6 to 8 p.m. at Kapala-Glodek-Malone Funeral Home in New Hope, and from 1 p.m. until the service begins at Calvary Lutheran.
