Shackelford, Garland Alford

Garland Alford Shackelford Oct. 29, 1924 - Apr. 19, 2006 Graveside 
services will be held on Monday, April 24, 2006 at 10 a.m. at Greenlawn 
Southwest. Garland passed away Wednesday evening at home with his family 
by his side. Garland was born October 29, 1924 in Moffett, OK. He moved to 
California as a young boy and served his country during World War II. Upon 
returning home, he met and married the love of his life, Anna Lee, on 
March 31, 1949 in Wasco, CA. Garland became an Operating Engineer in 1953 
and retired in 1986. He loved to hunt, fish and go camping with his 
friends and family. He especially loved camping and fishing at Lake 
Isabella. Upon his trek in life he met numerous people and if you ever had 
the chance to meet Garland you would remember as he never met a stranger. 
He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Anna Lee, children, Alan and Mary 
Shackelford, Gail and Wayne Martin, Shirley Shackelford, Ray and Diana 
Shackelford and Mike Shackelford; brothers, John and Junior Waldon; 10 
grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. We would like to give a special 
thanks to Optimal Hospice for giving dad what he had asked for, the 
dignity to pass away at home with his family by his side. HE DID IT HIS 
WAY. In lieu of flowers please make donations to Optimal Hospice.
