Mary Sue Libby-Shaugabay, age 65, of White Earth, MN, passed away at her home on Saturday, September 16, 2023.

Mary Sue Libby-Shaugabay was born on February 25, 1958, in Detroit Lakes, MN, to Herbert Ike and Thelma Ozetta (Thompson) Libby. Mary was raised in White Earth with her twelve siblings and attended school in Strawberry Lake, MN. She met the love of her life Gerald Shaugabay in 1982, who claimed her three children: Lori, Carol and Jessica. In 1984, they had another daughter, Gloria. The family then moved to Warroad, MN, shortly after they got married. Mary worked at the Warroad casino, working her way up to a surveillance investigator. In the 1990's their children started to have their own children, making them the happiest grandparents. Through the 1990's and early 2000's, she spent her life working and raising her grandkids. In 2010, they decided to move back to White Earth where she spent the rest of her life. After she moved to White Earth, she became a stay at home grandma, taking care of the grandkids who needed her. Mary enjoyed trips to the casino with her husband on elder's day, spending time with family, listening to music, and spoiling her grandkids when she could. She will be dearly missed by many.

Mary is survived by her husband, Gerald "Zeb" Shaugabay of Warroad; her daughters: Lori (Scott) Nelson of White Earth, Carol (John) Nelson of Detroit Lakes, Jessica (Darren) Perkins of White Earth,  and Gloria Shaugabay also of White Earth; a special son, Michael Libby; her grandchildren: Kristen, Jesse, Aaron, Alyssa (Eli), Barry Jr, Samantha (Bryce), Carrie, Tierra (Kyle), Gavin, Libby, and Amiyah; great-grandchildren: Alexander, Jacenta, Alyza, Jerrick, Kyrayah, Declan, Reigna; and an unborn great-grandson. She is also survived by her brothers: Gene (Sandy) Libby, William Ike Libby Sr, James (Beverly) Libby Sr, Gerald Libby Sr, and Thomas Libby Sr; and many nieces and nephews.
