Donald Shifflett's Obituary
Florist Note- Please deliver all floral arrangements directly to the Lutheran Church on Saturday by 12 noon.
My wonderful husband of 50 years left us on April 23, 2017. He is survived by his wife, Virginia Shifflett and three sons: Donald Shifflett Jr, Jeffrey Shifflett, and Mark Shifflett. He was born in Ellicott City on March 14, 1943 to Fred and Mable Shifflett. He has four brothers and three sisters who will also miss him. They are Fred Shifflett (deceased), Carl Shifflett, Richard Shifflett, Tony Shifflett, Barbara Saville, Patricia Lutz, and Judy Hall.
He coached all of his sons in Little League at the Elvaton Association. One of his greatest enjoyments were the years spent in Chincoteague camping with his family. His grandchildren were the loves of his life, and he shared as much time with them as possible. They are: Amber, Allison, Erin, Julie, Jeffrey, and Jaycee (Shifflett).
He worked at Northrop Grumman in Linthicum, MD as a manufacturing supervisor. He spent forty years there and retired in 2005.
He enjoyed driving to the ice cream store in his 1985 Mercedes convertible. He was a soft-hearted and loving man, and one of his joys in life was his little companion, Chloe, who he took walks with every day.
Memorial Services will be held on Saturday May 20, 2017 at 2:00 PM at the Christ Lutheran Church, 315 North Shipley Street, Seaford, DE.
