Marlborough, MA

Shapiro, Jeffrey N., 76, died on Monday, August 3, 2026, with his loving wife of 52 years, Susan by his side. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, he was a son of the late Jack and Ethel (Berman) Shapiro. He had lived in Marlborough, MA for 41 years. He travelled often for work, living in many places like Huron, OH, Syracuse, NY, Vermont and New York City. Jeffrey graduated from Boston University in 1972 with his Bachelor of Science and from New York University in 1974 with his Master of Public Administration.

He was a manager for non-profit agencies for 30 years, specializing with vulnerable communities suffering from drug and alcohol abuse, retiring in 2008. Jeff was a dedicated collector of stamps and he dutifully belonged to and served as an officer of the United States Stamp Society and the American Philatelic Society. Part of his duties to these groups was to serve as an accredited judge of collections and appraiser for the other collectors during stamp shows. When Jeff was able to, he would unwind with romantic classical music like the compositions of Gustav Mahler. He also just appreciated being able to spend his life alongside his loving wife, Susan (Schiff) Shapiro. Together they built a beautiful life devoted to their joys and traveling.
