SHALLMAN, William Irving
William Irving Shallman died in his sleep July 19, 2004 at the age of 78. Bill was a good man, a fine husband and father, served his country well in the Second World War, and was known to many as a stalwart friend. He will be sorely missed. Those of us who are left behind take solace in knowing that Bill and Nancy are together again. Bill was born in Upper Peninsula Michigan, raised there and in northern Wisconsin, grew up an athlete, woodsman, and outdoorsman and after the war attended and graduated from Marquette. There he met and married Nancy. They were together over fifty years until her death. First in Green Bay and Oshkosh, Wisconsin, then later in Taos, New Mexico and finally in Flagstaff, Arizona, Bill and Nancy worked and raised their two sons, Richard and James. Later, retirement in Lake Montezuma with summer visits to Idaho with friends and visits to family occupied Bill's time, in between golf tournaments and friendly card games. Bill was preceded in death by his wife Nancy, and is survived by his sons Richard and James, their wives Margaret and Carol, and their children, his grandchildren, Erik, Christopher, Molly, and Lindsay who all live in the Pacific Northwest. Bill is also survived by his dear friend Marie, with whom we share the pain of his passing. Neither Bill nor Nancy wished formal services, but the family is planning a private memorial in the near future. Please remember Bill as you knew him, honor his memory by enjoying your life and those who are close to you, and when you get a chance, take a stance - he always did.

Mrs. Mabel 'Ruth' Shaw, it is with great sorrow that we acknowledge the death of Ruth Shaw, loving wife and mother, and an active member of the Coolidge community on September 19, 2004. Mabel Ruth Withers was born in Kinsale, Virginia on January 1, 1924, to long time Virginia residents Warren and Ruth Withers.

After high school Ruth attended the Strayers Business College and began working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and taking classes at Georgetown University while living with her sister, Sis, in D. C. Ruth met her husband, Taylor Shaw, while he was stationed at Langley Air Force Base on leave from the European Theater during World War II. They became engaged and were married in Reno, Nevada on June 15, 1945, a day after Taylor came back from a tour of the Pacific Theater. They came to Coolidge in June of 1945 to begin a life together. Both Ruth and Taylor found jobs scarce in those first years in Coolidge. Ruth worked at the German Prisoner of War camp in Florence, and later worked as a bookkeeper for Fred Slater's Auto. Taylor worked at the O'Malleys lumber yard. During this time, the couple built their home on Kennedy street brick by brick on their off hours. Eventually Taylor joined with his brother, Curtis, and went to flooring and upholstery school in California. During that time in California, their first son, Craig, was born. Upon the Shaw's return to Coolidge, the family business, Shaw's Interiors was launched. Their youngest son, Steven, was born shortly after. Ruth worked for many years doing the bookkeeping and working as an interior designer helping customers pick out fabrics and flooring.

She was also a member of P. E. O., Monday Nighters, and the Chamber of Commerce, where they were selected man and woman of the year. As active as she was, Ruth will be remembered best for always leaving her door open for anyone who needed advise, a caring listener, or just a cup of coffee. Ruth was preceded in death by her husband, Taylor, and is survived by her sons, Craig and Steven, their wives, Debbie and Vicky, and her grandchildren, Brittany, Lauren, and Jennifer.
