"Jeanie" was born in June 1949 to Marjorie (Melim) and Arthur "Dink" Swain, raised in San Luis Obispo and attended San Luis Obispo High School.

As wife and mother, she decorated stunning Christmas trees and enjoyed entertaining family and friends. Later, again with Riley''s in Arroyo Grande, she was instrumental in opening the store and coordinated fashion shows in conjunction with local clothiers. Jeanie''s other enjoyable incarnations included real estate agent and floral designer. An artist at heart, Jeanie enjoyed painting, music, dancing, cooking, gardening and decorating.
