DONNA V. SHAHAN
June 14, 1928 - Sept. 10, 2007
Donna V. Shahan, 79, of Brawley passed away Monday, September 10.
She was born June 14, 1928 in Houston, TX and moved to Brawley in 1955. She was a homemaker who devoted her time to raising her daughter. In 1970 she married Frank Shahan and together they ran a successful upholstery business, California Mfg. She was also a caring stepmother to Frank's four boys. After his retirement, the two of them enjoyed their time on the small ranch they owned outside of Westmorland. Upon Frank's death in 2003, Donna moved back to Brawley to be near her daughter and son-in-law. Ill health didn't keep her down. She enjoyed trips to San Diego, Yuma and lunches at restaurants all over the Valley. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
Private services will be held at a later date at Old Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside.
Donna is survived by daughter and son-in-law, Glenda and Marvin Lewis, Tony Shahan, George and Cindy Shahan of Sacramento, Mark and Gail Shahan of Antelope, Roger Shahan of Brawley; brother and sister-in-law, Monte and Yvonne Monroe of So. Lake Tahoe; 7 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.
