Help Give Shelly McQueary-Struhak a Dignified Farewell

On Tuesday, May 20th, 2025, my mother Shelly McQueary-Struhak passed away suddenly and peacefully in her sleep. The Lord called home one of the sweetest most caring mother in the whole world and nothing will ever be the same without her..

My mom was a stroke victim since 2014 and there on out she had a hard time as the years went on. Suffering with only use of one half of her body and declining as time went by. Our family has gone through hardships one after another to almost collapse and beyond comprehension during the years but we kept it together and worked the best we could to keep our family together and comfortable. We tried our best to keep her loved, comfortable with what she wanted through the years. The family struggled with our own terrible hardships as well but we always put our Mother first the best we could. She is no longer suffering now..

As of now, me (Jake), my brother Justin, and father Al are completely lost and broken. We did not expect her to leave us so soon and so suddenly. Unfortunately enough we were not prepared for her final days. Our family still was not on the up and up and have been struggling bad just getting by to pay the bills, property taxes and just generally survive.

I'm making this GoFundMe in hopes to make enough to give my mom something she fully deserves. This might be a long shot considering this is so expensive but I know anything will help. I don't have much time since the funeral home wants to make arrangements as soon as possible with money up front. My father is on disability, myself (Jake) have been paralyzed a year after my mom's stroke and have been on disability myself just getting by. My brother is without job at the moment and is just getting by as well. We're so stuck. We have some money saved but no where near what we needed for this unexpected tragedy.

I know my Mother didn't want us to worry about money in her final days, she said herself. We talked about getting life insurance but I (Jake) was just too late getting it done with her. I didn't think this day would be here for years to come and I don't think she knew herself..

We are going to miss Shelly (muma) so much... Our family will never be the same again. The world itself will never be the same.

She is with her heavenly family now. She missed them so so much during life. I'm sure they are also celebrating together. Her mother Helena, brother Johnny, sister Cindy, her father John, her beloved dog Rufus, her best friend Mary..

If anyone wants to donate directly to her funeral funds she is at John Molnar in Southgate, MI

I will update everyone on service times when we can figure what we can exactly do for her.

I appreciate any and all help during this terrible time.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.

Amen
