Donald R. Shaw, 85

WELLSVILLE – Donald R. Shaw, of Wellsville, passed away Sunday morning, November 18, 2018, at his home. He was 85.

Born in East Liverpool, May 27, 1933, he was a son of the late John R. and Opal Anthony Shaw. A member of the Living Well Church in Wellsville, he worked at the former International Mill Service for 15 years. Don also painted houses for many years but his passion was his faith in the Lord which led him to evangelism in several area churches. He also possessed a great sense of humor and was affectionately known as the “Pastor of Walmart”.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Mary Ann Vincent Shaw. He was also preceded in death by two brothers, Keith Shaw and Lloyd Shaw and two sisters, Bernice “Betty” Jenkins and Janet Gamble.

He is survived by his wife, Barbara Green Shaw, whom he married May 27, 2006. He also leaves two daughters, April Lynn Skidmore and her husband, Jeff, of East Liverpool and Linda Buckel and her husband, Gary, of East Liverpool, as well as a son, Donald Mark Shaw of Wellsville. There are three step-daughters, Cindy Wright and her husband, Virgil, of Canton, Barbara Amendola of Canton, and Terri Martin and her husband, Gary, of Bradenton, Florida, and a step-son, Dan Buckel and his wife, Karen, of North Canton.

He also is survived by six grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, 11 step-grandchildren and 17 step-great-grandchildren.
