Sheree L. Swetin, age 52, the executive director of the San Diego County Bar Association, died on Sunday, June 3, after a long and courageous battle with lung cancer.
She formerly resided in Lombard and Arlington Heights.
Born on the 4th of July, Sheree spent her childhood in Champaign, IL, and then in Madison, WI. At age 17, she first exercised her life-long passion for travel, leaving the United States to live on an Israeli Kibbutz near the Lebanese border. She remained on the Kibbutz for seven years, serving for much of that time as director of a residential children's facility.
Sheree traveled widely, visiting forty-eight of the fifty states, and also spent time in Europe and Israel. Sheree received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Nonprofit Management from Chicago's De Paul University and was designated a Certified Association Executive by the American Society of Association Executives.
