Joyce and Ken Swarr recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, which occurred on Dec. 18, 2020. Due to the pandemic, the Swarrs celebrated quietly at home on the day of the anniversary and then took a family vacation to Pigeon Forge, Tenn., this summer with all their children and grandchildren.

Joyce and Ken were married on Dec. 18, 1970, at Calvary Church in Lancaster. The Rev. Eric Crichton officiated.

The Swarrs have three children and nine grandchildren.
