Donna Marie Shaw

Donna Marie Shaw of Juno, Florida, passed away on March 28, 2026. She was 93 years old. Born in Plain Grove, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of Seth and Gladys Neeley. A graduate of Grove City High School, she became a cosmetologist and later a photo expert at Solitron. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Donald Shaw, her brother, John Neeley, and her sister, Madge Whiting, both of Pennsylvania, and later by her dear friend and partner, John Gherzo.

Donna was always very sociable, family oriented, and had an appreciation for history and old fashioned values. After a start as newlyweds on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania, she and her husband Don moved to Florida in 1960 where she enjoyed many years of sunshine, family, boating, and new friends. She was active in the women’s Elks, the Moose Lodge, the Daughters of the American Revolution Seminole Chapter, and the Pratt & Whitney Retirees. Donna enjoyed travel and had many wonderful memories of visiting landmarks in our country and abroad. Her friends may remember her love of flowers and gardening, golfing and playing pool, and her fun fashion sense, always choosing colorful and perfectly coordinated outfits for any holiday. Donna was also the consummate hostess, entertaining family and friends year after year for Thanksgiving dinner, her famous boat parade party, Easter egg hunts, and 4th of July celebrations at her beautiful waterfront home.

She is survived by her daughter, Phyllis Caldwell, son, Larry Shaw, his wife, Rosemary Shaw, cherished grandchildren, Haley Shaw, Tyler Shaw, and Tera Caldwell, her great grand children, Luiz Caldwell, Lily Caldwell, and Gaelle Green-Shaw, and her brother, Dale Neeley and his family. She also leaves behind several dear friends including Skip and Dr. Chris Bush, Mark Gherzo, Scott and Judy Peters, Carol Handley, Peter Eliason, Sandy Monsir, Grace Bodnarchuk, and many others.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Gardens Presbyterian Church in Palm Beach Gardens, Moose Charities, or charity of choice, as she was always mindful of charitable giving.

Memorial service and repast will be held at Howard-Quattlebaum Funeral, Cremation and Event Center in North Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, April 26, 2026 from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
