Rebecca Gail Swenson

October 12, 1959 - November 27, 2019

Rebecca Gail (Pigott) Swenson Rebecca (Becky) passed away November, 27, 2019, in Salt Lake City, Utah after undergoing heart surgery. She fought a courageous battle for life and will be missed in every way. Becky was born October 12, 1959, in Lake Jackson, Texas to Arthur William Pigott, II and Geraldine (Peterson) Pigott Golding. The family moved to Utah Valley in 1970 where Becky attended school, graduating from Timpview High school in 1978. Becky married Gregory Leon Swenson on March 22, 1980, in Provo Utah and they had two beautiful children, Natalie Rebecca and David Leon. They made their home in Salem, Utah. She was a friend and teacher to everyone, especially children. She was always the favorite with the neighborhood children and nieces and nephews. They would play for hours. Among a thousand talents, one that we most remember about Becky was her sense of humor; Becky could find a silver lining in every cloud. She had a unique ability to make people laugh. Her sense of humor, beautiful smile and sparkling eyes improved the lives of countless people with whom she associated. An hour with Becky was more productive than a week of psychotherapy—and way cheaper. Becky worked at Zion Upholstery, Taylor Maid Costume and Design and later as a seamstress and designer for the Utah Pageant of the Arts in Salt Lake City. Becky was extremely talented and excelled in knitting, sewing and beadwork always creating her own unique patterns. She was the busiest person we’ve ever known, always able to create something out of nothing. Becky’s remarkable creativity in arts-and-crafts made her a sought-after addition to any artistic endeavor. She will be greatly missed. Becky is survived by her husband Greg, daughter Natalie and exceptionally beautiful and gifted granddaughter, Ruby Leigh and by her brothers and sisters: James Robert Pigott, Peterson Pigott (deceased), Nancy Kay Foster, Arthur William Pigott III, John Andrew Pigott, Lisa Merrill and David Allen Pigott. She now joins her beloved son, David, her brother Pete, father Arthur William, Jr., and mother, Geraldine where they are still hugging and laughing too hysterically to be bothered by mere mortal concerns. We love you, dear Becky. Graveside services begin at 11:00 at the Salem City Cemetery, 899 South 130 East, Salem, Utah. Luncheon to follow: 12:30 until 2:00 p.m. 7th Ward Church 25 West Apple Blossom Way Salem, Utah
