Obituary of Donna Marie Marielli Shouppe’

Donna was born in Brooklyn, NY to James and Marie Marielli. She grew up in Hicksville, NY with her four brothers until the family moved to Eau Gallie, FL in 1963. She spent her senior year at Eau Gallie High School and soon after married Stephen Shouppe+óGé¼Gäó and gave birth to three daughters. Later, she was faced with single parenthood, but managed to provide for three teenaged girls on a waitress+óGé¼Gäó income. She found she had a passion for people and homes. She became a realtor and loved helping clients fulfill their dream of home ownership. For nearly 30 years, she has worked for various agencies throughout the Melbourne and Palm Bay area. Donna took pride in her four grandchildren, who along with her daughters, were paramount in her life. She thoroughly enjoyed being with them and fulfilling every need that they had. Her life and her love revolved around God and family. She had a strong Christian faith which grounded her and influenced the way she interacted with people around her. She taught her children to +óGé¼+ôalways do the right thing+óGé¼-¥ and modeled that in her daily life. She enjoyed following politics, decorating her home, shopping, going to the beach, and traveling with her family. Donna will be sorely missed by her three daughters, Julie Clough of Palm Bay, Jane Shouppe+óGé¼Gäó of Tampa, and Jodie Williams of West Melbourne; four grandchildren, Caitlyn Clough, Joshua Shouppe+óGé¼Gäó, Landon Williams, and McKinsay Williams; brothers, Bill Heil, Michael Marielli, Ted Marielli, and Jamie Marielli, the latter whose passing preceded hers; and too many more loving family and dear friends to be mentioned here.The memorial ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. on Monday, February 15, 2015, at her home church, Calvary Chapel Melbourne, 2955 Minton Road, West Melbourne, 32904. A reception will follow at the church. Feel free to add a pop of color to your attire, as Donna would have wished for this remembrance to reflect the joy of her new home in heaven.In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation in memorium, payable to Donna Shouppe.
