Sweigart, who was killed in action in 1944 during World War II. Then, on May 2, 1947 she married Dale W. Peterman, who died May 11, 1999. From this union, two daughters were born: Linda and Carol.
She is survived by: her daughter Linda Millington of Lancaster, OH; 2 grandchildren: Michelle (John) Hill of Otway, OH and Kevin (Jennifer) Kincaid of Sunbury, OH; 4 great-grandchildren: Ryan Hill, Tyler Hill, Kaleb (Emma) Kincaid, Jacob Kincaid.
