Shelly L. Fongers' Obituary
Shelly Lyn Swartz Fongers, age 55, beloved daughter and mother passed away on Christmas Day, December 25, 2022 at Poppen House Harbor Hospice. She was born January 17, 1967 in Norton Shores to Jerry and Lynda (Graham) Swartz. She was a graduate from Mona Shores High School and continued her education at Muskegon Community College with an accounting major. She was fortunate to continue her love for accounting when working for the City of Grand Haven for twelve years. Shelly loved the sunshine and anywhere her friends could meet and have fun at the beach or pool. Shelly’s beautiful smile and zest for life were like a large magnet that attracted her many friends. She was very close to her girlfriends in the D. L. W's. They made many trips to Key West where it was hot and sunny. Shelly felt that her greatest accomplishment was raising her three children. Zachary is the first born and blessed with the ability to repair anything and is very smart. Jacob is the second son and is able to repair anything, he is a very accomplished repair mechanic. Alexandra is the beauty of the group with brains to match and is a junior at Michigan State University. This is a very short thumb nail sketch of Shelly’s life. Shelly’s love of life and immense love for her children will endure all, her zest for life will be in all our hearts forever. A Visitation will be held Thursday, January 5, 2023 from 6:00 – 8:00PM at The Walburn Chapel of Sytsema Funeral & Cremation Services, 1547 W. Sherman Blvd., Muskegon, MI 49441. A Celebration of Life will be held early Summer 2023. MEMORIALS in memory of Shelly may be directed to Harbor Hospice Foundation. Please feel free to share a memory online at www.sytsemafh.com.
