Shellie Susan Varon-Magda, 68, of Las Vegas, a retired owner of Complete Financial Services of Las Vegas, passed away on Sunday, February 18, 2018. Shellie was born in Denver, CO on January 10, 1950 to Solomon and Jessie Varon (nee Goldberg) and was a Las Vegas resident since 1988. She is preceded in death by her parents and is survived by Wally, her beloved husband of 30-years; son, Mark Magda; Step-son, Michael; sister, Radene “Dene” Varon (Steve), and granddaughter, Alexa Magda. Shellie graduated from Skyline High School in Oakland and attended San Jose State University. She worked in insurance, and was a flight attendant with Trans International Airlines during her early years. She loved working with people, and was always friendly and caring. Shellie met Wally in San Jose when they worked together at a doctor’s office. Not soon after, she became Shellie Varon-Magda in 1987. They formed their own accounting and tax practice, and eventually moved to Las Vegas to be close to Sol and Jessie, who moved there to retire. They lived and loved together in Las Vegas for 30-years and prepared taxes for thousands of clients. In 1993, Mark was adopted and became Shellie’s joy in life. She made sure that he was well educated and learned to live and love life. In addition, she made sure he was as sensitive and caring for people and animals as she was. Her hobbies included: cooking, listening to 60s and 70s music, watching movies, taking care of her animals, creating works of art, and spending time with her family at their beach house in Wildwood, New Jersey. Over the last 5 years she fought cancer both in Las Vegas and in Los Angeles at the USC Cancer Center. Unfortunately, the cancer spread to her lungs, and the doctors said that there was nothing more to do medically. Shellie said that it was time to go, so she’s now with her parents in peace. Shellie was an uncommonly kind and compassionate individual. Her love of animals and people was unparalleled. Funeral and burial services were held on Tuesday, February 20, 2018 at 10:00AM at King David Memorial Chapel and Cemetery, 2697 E. Eldorado Lane, Las Vegas.
