her family by her side. She was born December 9, 1956 in Tiffin, Ohio to the late Early
W. and Bernice M. (Hunt) Shinn.
Hope met the love of her life, Michael, while in Junior High, and they married on
October 9, 1976. Together, they had three children, Michael (Lisa) Bogard II, Upper
Sandusky, Lori (Joseph) Cusack, Ionia, MI, Adam Bogard, Upper Sandusky, and six

Cusack, and Allanah Cusack. Hope is also survived by a brother Keith Shinn,
McCutchenville, Ohio and a sister Donna (Randy) McKee, Virginia. Hope is preceded

Hope is a 1975 graduate of Mohawk High School and 1992 nursing school graduate of
Marion Technical College. She cared for many patients while working in intensive care
units within Marion General Hospital, Riverside Methodist Hospital, Grant Medical
Center, and Ashland Samaritan Hospital.
Hope was an exceptional wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She cared deeply for
her family, friends, and community, always providing support and love and placing
others needs in front of her own. She ensured that every child who entered her home
was safe, healthy, happy, and well fed.
Hope loved spending time in the kitchen, making delicious meals for her husband,
family, and friends or canning jams and spreads with items from her garden for her
church community.
Hope was strong in her faith. She was a member and chairman of the board for
Crawford Church and a supporter of Love-In-Action. When she set a life goal, she
always followed through. Hope was able to take her dream trip to Colorado just months
before her passing. Always a country girl at heart, she could out match anyone with a
handgun when target shooting.
Hope was proud of her family and cherished all the moments of life. She leaves behind
nothing but beautiful memories.
Hope’s family is choosing to remember her in a way that honors her spirit and brings
together her family and friends. Her husband and children invite all who wish to share
