Obituary: Donald Lewis Shotts

Commissioned to Serve


Donald L. Shotts was born on 4, 1932 in Fairmont, West Virginia and passed away on 8, 2014 in Tualatin, Oregon. He was the son of Ralph and Jeanette Shotts of Fairmont, who owned a heating and roofing company at the time. Life in the town of Fairmont offered him the opportunity to develop both deep roots and a strong sense of community \ vital components upon which he would draw for the remainder of his life.

He attended West Fairmont High School and was a graduate of the class of 1950. From the time he was a young boy, Don loved music. For many years he played the saxophone and also lent his booming baritone voice to the many choirs he enjoyed singing with throughout his life. He was a gifted basketball player known for being a scrappy forward for West Fairmont and led his 1950 team to the all-state basketball championships.

Growing up in the shadow of World War II and the uncertain era of the Korean War, Don was a man who truly reflected his familys hard-working values, love of community and country, and service to others. It was no surprise, then, that after his high school graduation he attended West Virginia University in Morgantown as part of the Air Force ROTC program. He was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant and began the customary flight and navigation school training required by the Air Force.

In 1955 he married Stella Annette Riheldaffer whom he met in the fourth grade at Butcher School in Fairmont. Stellas family lived on the other side of the alley behind his house during the years her father was deployed to Europe during the Second World War. The newlyweds made their first home in Cheyenne, Wyoming while Don finished procurement training school. For the next 21 years Don served with distinction in the Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the height of the Vietnam and Cold War eras. He was given five stateside assignments and three overseas assignments to Morocco, Holland, and Spain. Unlike many around them, Dons family was able to deploy with him \ a rare opportunity that provided incredible family stability during uncertain times.

Following his retirement from the Air Force as a Lt. Colonel, Don worked at Northrop Aircraft in California for 13 years until 1988. Then he retired from Northrop and they moved to Oregon where he continued to serve God and his community. He was a man of few words, but let his actions speak for him, and they did! His life and legacy reflect his deep commitment to God, family, community, and the many friends he met along the way.


Don Shotts was commissioned by the military to serve his country and by God to serve others, doing both with distinction.

He is survived by Stella Shotts, his wife of 59 years: his children; Sandi Wise (Kellye), Randy Shotts (Rhonda), and Donna Tallman (Bob); his grandchildren; Alyssa Wise, Kendra Vollstedt (Shea), Emily Shotts, Matthew Polichetti (Quanah), Bryant Tallman (Jodie), Philip Tallman (Amanda), Steven Tallman, and four great-grandchildren.
