BLISSFIELD - Donald Guy Shaffer, age 90, passed away peacefully while under the care of Blissfield Place assisted living on Monday, April 22, 2019. He was born 0ct. 31, 1928 at his family farm on Horton Road in Ogden Twp. to Guy and Edith (Himelrick) Shaffer.

He was preceded in death by his parents, brother, Charles; five sisters, Violet Shaffer, Annabelle Shaffer, Mable Wolford, Mary Lee Powlesland and Dorothy Mullins and recently, nephew Charles Shaffer Jr. Don is survived by many nieces and nephews.
