A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, December 1, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. in the chapel of Paul Funeral Home & Crematory with John Edwards officiating.
Bill Swindell was a proud American and served his country with honor in the United States Army in the 1960s. Continuing his tradition of service and dedication to the people of his country and North Carolina, Bill proudly retired from the North Carolina Highway Patrol as Chief Trooper in 1993 with 27 years of service.
Bill is survived by his wife Phyllis Swindell, daughter Lisa Woodward, grandchildren Riggins and Cooper Woodward, and great-grandchild Autumn Woodward. Bill is also survived by siblings Clyde Swindell, Herbert Swindell and Marie Swindell.
He loved life and the joys it brought. You can often see him with a smile on his face talking to family and friends about the “great deal” he found on a coin or diamond.
