Lovell Sweeting's Obituary
Marjory Lovell Sweeting, 83, passed away on April 15, 2020, in Jupiter, Florida, joining her beloved soulmate of 64 years, Gerald Levern Sweeting, who died on March 19, 2019.
Lovell was born in Plant City, Florida, on May 22, 1936. She graduated with a GED from Coral Gables Senior High School in 1955. Lovell was married to Gerald Levern Sweeting for 64 years. They began their relationship as middle school pen pals, with a mail boat delivering letters between Miami, Florida, and Hope Town, Abaco, in the Bahamas. The couple married in Nassau on December 26, 1954, and had their formal wedding in Miami on June 25, 1955. They lived in both Florida and the Bahamas, spending 34 “golden years” as residents of Key Largo.
Lovell is survived by her son, Dr. Larry Sweeting, and daughter, Linda C. Sweeting, Esq.; by grandchildren, Charles Morehead IV and wife, Ashley Glenn Morehead, Parker Morehead, Chandler Lovelle, and Luke Sweeting; by great grandchildren, Daphne & Magnolia Morehead; by her eldest brother, Frank Calhoun and wife, Pat; by her sister-in-law, Nancy Calhoun; and by many loving nieces, nephews, and friends.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Ossie Lee and Eunice Calhoun, and her younger brother, Melvin Calhoun.
Our mother’s joy was loving and caring for her home, children, family, and friends. Her greatest legacy was her love for us. She ended each encounter with: “I love you more”; and she no doubt did.
The family suggests that memorials may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association or the charity of one’s choice.
