Richard W. Shubert 1946-2025
BOARDMAN — Richard Wayne Shubert, 79, left this earthly life and entered eternal rest Monday, Oct. 13, 2025.
He was born April 22, 1946, to Samuel Link and Dorothy Lee Bridges Shubert.
Richard graduated from Hubbard High School in 1964 and worked at General Motors for 50 years — starting in production and ending as a carpenter in the skilled trades. He also owned his own business in roofing, siding, seal coating and snowplowing.
He leaves his wife, Antoinette M. Toni DeChellis, whom he married Aug. 20, 1966; two daughters, JoLynn (Doug) Franz of Heath and Leslie (Ken) Fredrick of Kentucky; two brothers, Jim (Carolyn) Shubert of Brunswick and Larry Shubert of Michigan; one sister, Nancy Shubert of Youngstown; and brothers-in-law, James (Patty) DeChellis of Struthers and Carl (Kathy) DeChellis of Cincinnati. Blessings were added by six grandchildren, Caleb Franz (Megan Kirlin), Blake Franz, Elijah Franz, Joseph Franz, Isabella Franz and Nicolina Fredrick.
He was preceded in death by his parents; in-laws, James and Josephine DeChellis; and brother, Bradley Shubert.
A special thank you to all the doctors, nurses and staff of Hospice House of the Valley, for caring and treating Rich with respect and love. They were truly angels sent to care for our beloved Richard.
Richard was a “lifelong” Corvette guy. His first Corvette was a cherry red 1977 with T-tops.
