Donna Jean Wild Shackford passed away December 29, 2017 peacefully at her home surrounded by her family. Donna will be especially missed by her family and all those who knew her. We depended upon her for her strength and support. She was a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Donna was born November 11, 1930 in Toledo, Iowa. She met her future husband off 66 years John Shackford, while attending college in Los Angeles, Calif. They were married in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1951 and traveled extensively, while he was in the U.S. Air Force as a pilot till 1958. A career offered in Aviation brought John and Donna and their 4 children to Napa in 1960. In 1975 they opened Shackford's Kitchen Store. In remembering her, Donna's all time favorite spot was behind her desk at Shackford's. She and her husband worked tirelessly to make the store what it has become today. If she wasn't at the store, Donna was probably at one her grand children's sporting event or school activity. She never missed a baseball or football game, choir performance, or dance recital. Her favorite passtime was youth baseball. She has sponsored many teams for T-Ball, Babe Ruth and girls softball. It always gave her a chance to yell and holler, which she did plenty of. Donna is survived by her husband John (Jack) and her 4 children Laura (Targie) Lewis, John (Holly), Mark (Catherine), Tom (Cindy), nine grand children and ten great grand children. Funeral services will be held Wednesday Jan 10, at 1:00 pm at Claffey and Rota, 1975 Main Street, Napa, and laid to rest at Tulocay Cemetery.
