Tiffany Theresa Webster

She was born on July 7, 1982, at 3:25 p.m. at Metro General Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, weighing 8 pounds, 5 ounces and measuring 21 inches long. She arrived as the youngest child in the Webster family.

She is survived by her daughter, Miranda Marie Colón  (Brandon M. Morcus), and her grandson, Jaxon O. Morcus; her mother, Rowena Rodriguez Webster; her sister, Salena M. Velez (Juan Velez) and nephew, Juan Jr. Velez; and her brother, Ronald W. Webster (Lisa Webster), along with her niece and nephew, Haley M. Nieder and Parker M. Webster. Tiffany was preceded in death by her father, Ronald “Rocky” Webster.

Tiffany was a devoted mother and grandmother. Family and friends often described her as stubborn, resilient, funny, supportive, hopeful, kind-hearted, humble, selfless, and strong. Her father affectionately called her “Tough Tiff,” a nickname she carried proudly and lived up to throughout her life.

As a child, Tiffany was a tomboy. She loved playing video games with her brother and tagging along with her big sister. Around the age of 8, she played T-ball, later played softball, and sang in her church choir. At 15, Tiffany was diagnosed with lupus. Although the disease would bring many challenges throughout her life, she never let it define who she was. While attending Lincoln-West High School, she met her best friend, Kima, and the man who would later become the father of her daughter. She graduated in 2000.

Tiffany worked a variety of jobs over the years, including serving as a church secretary alongside her mother. She dreamed of becoming a nurse, but life took her down a different path. Even so, she became very knowledgeable about medicine and medical terminology through years of doctor visits, hospital stays, and researching her illness. She often knew more than people expected and wasn’t afraid to ask questions or advocate for herself.

She loved cooking, especially Spanish food, and music was always a big part of her life. Her playlists could jump from classic rock to R&B to rap without missing a beat. Tupac was always one of her favorites.

At 19, Tiffany faced a high-risk pregnancy. Despite being encouraged by some to consider a medical abortion, she believed with all her heart that it was God’s will for her to have her baby. She went into labor three months early and gave birth to what doctors called a miracle baby, weighing just 3 pounds, 5 ounces. Although she and Miranda’s father eventually went their separate ways, her love and dedication to her daughter never changed.

As the years went on, Tiffany’s lupus became more severe, and she eventually moved back home. She volunteered at her daughter’s school whenever she could until her health made it too difficult. As her condition worsened, her mother stepped in to help care for both Tiffany and Miranda. She later relied on a scooter to help her get around. Even then, she refused to let her health keep her from the things she cared about. She attended her nephew’s football games, participated in lupus awareness walks, and continued showing up for her family whenever she was able.

In 2016, Tiffany’s health took another serious turn, and she began using supplemental oxygen. One of the many ways she gave back was by donating her hair to children experiencing medical hair loss. Because she couldn’t get out as much, Tiffany treasured the time she spent at home with her family. She loved watching movies and television shows with her daughter and developed a passion for doing nails. She enjoyed it so much and became so good at it that you would have thought she was a professional nail technician.

Everyone who knew Tiffany knew her daughter was her world. Then she became a grandmother, and her heart somehow grew even bigger. Her grandson, Jaxon, quickly became the light of her life. Although her disabilities limited what she could do physically, they never limited the love she gave him. She read to him, played pat-a-cake, cuddled him, fed him, and made the most of every moment they shared. Whenever Jaxon was with her, he had her full attention.

Throughout her life, Tiffany faced more medical challenges than most people could imagine. Time and time again, she fought through them with faith, determination, and the stubborn strength that earned her the nickname “Tough Tiff.” After a lifetime of battles and blessings, God called her home on May 23, 2026.

Family and friends are invited to join in celebrating Tiffany’s life on Tuesday, June 9, 2026 from 5PM-7PM with a funeral service at 7PM at Craciun Funeral Home, 14925 Bagley Rd, Middleburg Heights, OH 44130.
