A Special Tribute for Roxanne Shute
Support a cause that's close to my heart
Roxanne Shute
Roxanne Mary Shute, age 71, peacefully passed on Monday, June 9, 2025 at Allegheny General Hospital surrounded by her family. She was a kind, warm and loving person who was always positive despite living with polycystic kidney disease.
It can be overwhelming to cope with a kidney disease diagnosis, the journey is often long and difficult. National Kidney Foundation is a source of hope and comfort for families like ours – a place to turn in their darkest hour.
Please consider making a special gift to help us honor someone profoundly special to us and support a cause that’s close to our hearts.
Your generosity will fund the fight to:
- Expand access to home dialysis and kidney transplants for all Americans
- Increase funding for kidney disease research
- Identify and eliminate kidney health disparities
Every gift, no matter how small, is meaningful to us and will ensure that Roxanne's legacy can live on in this important work.
With immense gratitude,
Gary, Kate and Chris Shute
