  Notes	Marjorie (Margie) Ann Peterka Swineheart passed away peacefully Monday, Jan. 26, 2009; she was born Sept. 27, 1936, at Aitkin, Minn., the first child of Martin and Marie Peterka. The family later moved to California; then when Margie was 10 years old they moved to Idaho. She graduated from Orofino High School in 1954. She married Carl Gibson in 1957 and moved to Columbus, Ohio. From this marriage she had three sons. The marriage later ended in divorce. In 1974, Marjorie returned to Lewiston and raised her children. In 1977, she began a career as a homemaker (caregiver for the elderly) for the state of Idaho and continued the career until 1990. She later moved to Orofino and married Herb Swineheart in 2002. She was preceded in death by her husband, Herb Swineheart, and her parents, Martin and Marie Peterka. Margie is survived by her three sons, Brett and Kathy Gibson of Lewiston, Greg and LeAnna Gibson of Waverly, Ohio, and Cameron Gibson of Gresham, Ore.; five grandchildren, Jennifer Gibson, Summer Gibson, Jamie Hannah Gibson, Casey Gibson and Clay McCartney; and nine great-grandchildren. She is also survived by four sisters and brothers-in-law, Judy and Dale Daniels of Kennewick, Becky and Larry Beck of Orofino, Barbara and Garry Newbry of Cheney, Wash., and David Highfield of New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada; and numerous nieces and nephews. She loved Orofino and all of her friends, classmates and the entire congregation at the Christian Covenant House where she was a devoted member. Margie loved polka music and enjoyed dancing the polka in her younger days. She loved to laugh, talk and have fun. She was particularly proud of her three sons; they were the apple of her eye. If Margie was about anything, she was about family, and she'll forever be in our hearts, never forgotten. Margie, we will miss you. The celebration of life for Margie Swineheart will be conducted at noon Saturday at the Covenant House Christian Center, 12517 Hartford Ave., Orofino, with the Rev. Tristan Harvey officiating. She will be laid to rest at Wells Bench Cemetery. Pine Hills Funeral Chapel of Orofino is handling arrangements.
