Shaw, Cecelia (Cecilja) Bernadette (17 August 1933 - 24 June2022)
Cecelia (Cecilja) Bernadette Shaw, 88 of Marshfield, passed away on Friday, June
24, 2022, at the Clark County Rehab & Living Center.
Cecelia was born in Greenwood on August 17, 1933, to Frank and Mary (Remzgar)
Gosar. Cecelia was proud of her Slovenian heritage, speaking the language at a
young age with her parents – who emigrated from Yugoslavia and settled in
America. She further enjoyed making traditional Slovenian dishes, pastries and
bread and attending heritage and polka festivals throughout her life. Cecelia
was a graduate of Greenwood High School in 1951. She had always wanted to go to
college to become a schoolteacher but placed family before everything – taking
care of siblings after her mother became ill and continued caring for them
throughout her life. Working as a waitress in Neillsville, she met Elton Shaw.
They joined in marriage shortly thereafter on January 29th, 1955, at the Holy
Family Catholic Church in Willard. Later that year, they founded Shaw’s Wrecking
Yard, to which they dedicated the rest of their lives. They celebrated their
50th wedding anniversary in 2005. Near the end of her life, Cecelia remained an
avid reader and enjoyed puzzles. Most of all, she valued the time spent with her
family and her dogs.
Along with her parents, Cecelia was preceded in death by her husband Elton Shaw
(d. 2012), her siblings Mary Artac, Tony Gosar, Sister Antonia (Frances) Gosar,
Sophie Trunkel, Anne Sladich, Julia Kuznacic and Frank Gosar.
Cecelia is survived by her sister, Angela Stroinski; her four children, Joan
(David) Boehning, Jean Shaw, Theresa Shaw and Thomas (Betty) Shaw; her
grandchildren Nichole, Jacob (Becca), Josh (Nathalia) and Lukas (Emily) Boehning,
Denise (Michael) Lindau, Anita (José) Toto Seba and Jared Burkart, Zachary
(Megan) Shaw and Cecily (Andy) Blume; and her great-grandchildren Elodie and
Charlie Boehning, Cameron, Finley and Annabelle Boehning, Penelope, Florence and
Cosmo Boehning, Natalie and Max Lindau and Linda Toto Lara.
A Catholic Funeral Mass, officiated by Fr. Keith Kitzhaber, will be held at 11
A.M. on Friday, July 1st, 2022, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Marshfield.
Cecelia will be laid to rest at the Brooklawn Memory Gardens Cemetery in the
Town of Richfield, Wood County. Visitations will be held from 4-8 P.M. Thursday,
June 30th, 2022, at Rembs Funeral Home and from 10 A.M. until service on Friday,
July 1st, 2022, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church
The Shaw Family would like to thank the staff at the Clark County Rehab & Living
Center and the hospice caregivers that assisted her during the end of her life.
