Donald Shuga Obituary

Shuga, Donald Clark "Don"

peacefully passed away early Sunday morning, December 21, 2025, at home in Centerville, OH. Born in Cornucopia, WI, Don's life journey was one marked by dedication, service, and the love of his close-knit family.

Don is survived by his beloved wife, Marjorie, and a devoted father to daughter Michele (Steve). Though his son Daniel preceded him in death, he is lovingly remembered by daughter-in-law Elaine. Don's legacy continues through his grandchildren, Nathan (Kristen), Rachel (Bradford), Casey (Ted), Joseph (Ally), Justin (Simone), Matt (Jeremy), and Jacob as well as will be forever adored by great-grandchildren, Parker and Penelope.

Rest In Peace, dear Don, until we meet again.
