Roy Daniel Shifflett, 78, of Charlottesville, VA passed away on Friday, November 10th.

He was the son of the late Ellis Daniel and Annie Shifflett.

Roy's gift of storytelling and unforgettable sense of humor was shared in his smile and laughter at all family gatherings. Every spring through fall, he was a Shockwave Softball grandparent, always heard cheering for all the young players over the years. Roy was an avid sports enthusiast. He enjoyed NFL Sundays, NASCAR racing, and was a dedicated UVA Cavaliers fan. It should not go unmentioned of his complete admiration of the TV series, Gunsmoke.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 41 years, Nancy Ann Shifflett, a son-in-law, Wayne Lawhorne; brothers Norman, James, Edward, and Mervin and sisters Irene and Mavis.

He is survived by his daughter, Rhonda Lawhorne granddaughter, Elizabeth Lawhorne; sisters: Stella, Mary and Joyce and many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and nephews, and great-grandnieces and nephews.
