Donald M. Shutts' Obituary
SHUTTS, Donald M., age 89, of Lebanon passed away Sat. July 21, 2018 at the Quaker Heights Care Community in Waynesville.
Donald worked 25 years at Herrick’s Paint and Wallpaper in Lebanon, eventually becoming the owner and renaming the business to Don’s Paint. Following his time at the paint store, he worked several years at Miami Carey in Monroe. He officially retired from Concrete Technology in Monroe after approximately 20 more years of work.
He was one of the original members of the New Freedom Church in Lebanon. As a jack-of-all-trades, he loved working with his hands and could fix anything. He was mild mannered, very easy going and had a strong work ethic. Donald was very family oriented and preferred spending his free time with his family. He greatly enjoyed boating and camping, and some of his favorite times were the family trips to Lake Cumberland, Sandusky, Florida, and Alabama.
He was preceded in death by his son Gary Igo; son-in-law Ralph Mottashed; parents Kenneth Shutts and Mary Keever; and one brother Harold Shutts. He is survived by his wife of nearly 69 years, Mary; five sons Mark (Sharon) Davis, Steve (Teresa) Shutts, Mike (Saundra) Shutts, David Shutts, and Jim (Debbie) Shutts; one daughter Linda Mottashed; 18 grandchildren; 34 great grandchildren; two great great grandchildren; and his niece Pat (Lester) Clemmons.
Funeral services will be held 11 AM Tues. July 31 at New Freedom Church in Lebanon. Pastor Joe Shutts and Dennis Bunnell will be officiating. Burial will be at Miami Cemetery in Corwin. The family will receive friends 5 - 8 PM Mon. July 30 at the church. If desired, contributions may be made to Quaker Heights Care Community and/or Crossroads Hospice.
