Michelle Frances Shugerman (Webb), left this world on March 21, 2024, surrounded by her adoring family. Born on October 19, 1953, in Detroit Michigan, Michelle was the beloved daughter of Meredith Webb and Lorraine Young, and sister to Brian, Greg, and Valarie.
Michelle's life was woven with threads of compassion, humor, and unwavering love. Her journey was marked by profound connections with family, friends, and even furry companions. She married her soulmate, Richard Shugerman, on July 31, 1988, sharing 38 years of love, sarcasm, and treasured memories. Together, they raised a beautiful family and built a home filled with warmth and love in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Her children, Eric, Danielle, Heather, and Lindsay, were her greatest joys, and her grandchildren and great-grandchild, who lovingly called her Memaw, where the apples of her eye. Michelle's heart knew no bounds, extending her love to numerous "strays" she welcomed into her home, be they animals or humans in need of care and comfort. Her inside cats, Orlando Beans and Anakin Shy-Waker, will miss their cat-mom dearly.
Michelle's laughter was contagious, her wit sharp and her presence lit up any room she entered. She found solace in the simple pleasures of life, enjoying wine and heartfelt conversations with her family. Her dream of visiting Hawai'i became a reality, when her son and daughter-in-law, Eric and Tami surprised her this past January.
Her courageous battle with cancer showcased Michelle's resilience and determination, inspiring all who knew her. Despite the challenges, she remained a pillar of strength, radiating love and kindness to those around her. Her impact on the lives she touched is immeasurable, leaving behind a tapestry of affection and fond remembrance.
As her husband, Richard, bids her farewell, we are reminded that Michelle's spirit will forever reside in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Though she may have left this early realm, her love and light will continue to guide us, a beacon of hope and inspiration in our lives.
Rest in love, dear Michelle. Your memory will forever be a blessing, and your legacy of love will endure through the generations.
