Gloria Burgin Sweazy

Gloria Burgin Sweazy, 89, of Bardstown, passed away Tuesday June 24, 2025 at her residence.  On June 24, 2025 at 10:20 pm Jesus welcomed our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend into the room He had prepared for her.  She passed away peacefully at home, after bravely battling complications from strokes and dementia.  Her family remained by her side as the Angels guided her to her eternal rest.

John 14:2-3.  (2) In my father's house are many mansions:  if it were not so I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.  (3) And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also.

She worked for Stewarts Dry Goods in Louisville, was a licensed real estate agent, and she worked at American Greetings in Bardstown, until her first stroke caused an early retirement, and she was a die-hard Kentucky Wildcats Fan.

She was preceded in death by her husband, William "Sonny" Sweazy; mother, Orene Burgin; father, Ernon Burgin; and brother, Darrell Burgin.

She leaves behind her four children, Sylvia (Tony) Kuykendall, Sunny Sweazy, Randy Sweazy, and Kim (Paul) McCoy all of Bardstown; seven grandchildren, Chris (Amanda) Kuykendall, David (Angela) Sweazy, Amanda (Shawn) Vance, Andrew (Rachel) Sweazy, Brandon Sweazy, Matthew McCoy, and Challen McCoy; fourteen great-grandchildren; countless friends and relatives; and caretakers Whitney Mattingly and Janet Brown.

Her funeral service will be 11:00 am Saturday June 28, 2025 at Barlow Funeral Home, with burial in Highview Cemetery in Chaplin.  Brother Ray Johnson will officiate.  Visitation will be 4 - 8 pm Friday June 27 and 9 - 11 am Saturday June 28 at Barlow Funeral Home.
