(ChurchLeaders) On Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2021, a memorial service was held to honor the life of Luci Swindoll, who passed from COVID-19 on Oct. 20, 2020. Luci’s younger brother, preacher and author Chuck Swindoll, said that it was fitting to celebrate his sister’s life on the day of her birth.
“We chose this day on purpose,” said Chuck Swindoll at the memorial’s opening. “Were she still with us, she would have wanted us to celebrate her birthday with her. You see, Luci would have turned 89 years young today.” His sister, said Chuck, “lived every year of her life full of outrageous enthusiasm and unhindered excitement and always contagious joy.”
