MAHI SWAN Obituary

SWAN, Mahi (née Debbie Stubbs) Died peacefully, at home, on November 4, 2025, after a long illness. She was born on June 14, 1949, and grew up in Sharon, MA. She enjoyed a long career as a nurse, first on the West Coast and later in Northampton, MA, where she moved to be close to family. She had many talents, including furniture making and photography, and was an accomplished classical pianist. Animals were a lifelong passion for Mahi: she rescued, tamed and nurtured many animals over the years. She was predeceased by her parents, Lu and Hal Stubbs. She is survived by her sister, Sue Stubbs and Sue's husband, Barry Goldstein; her nephew, Robin Goldstein; her niece, Rosie Goldstein and Rosie's partner, Eraun Dugger; her grandnephew, Azai Dugger; her former husband, Siddharth Lodaya; and her lifelong childhood friend, Susie Brookfield. Friends are invited to join the family in a local Celebration of Mahi's Life on Sunday, November 23, at 3:00 PM, at Sue and Barry's home, at 13 Trumbull Road, in Northampton.

So very sad to hear of Mahi´s passing. I have fond memories of Mahi through school years, and had a wonderful, albeit brief, reconnection with her in Northampton about seven years ago. She was a lovely, compassionate, and talented woman. May her memory be a blessing to those who knew and loved her.

I babysat Mahi (Debbie) when she was a young child. The Stubb's family were close family friends of the Davis family. Our love and sympathy go out to all of you. Carol Davis Pessin.
