Longtime La Jara resident James “Jimmy” Clinton Shaff, 85, reunited with his wife of 67 years when he passed in his home on May 3, 2024. He was born on a Thursday, Oct. 13, 1938, to Donald E and Alta Ruth (Gabelman) Shaff.

Jimmy worked as a carpenter for many years in and around the community of La Jara. He and his wife, Connie, enjoyed traveling together, dancing, and spending time with family.

Jimmy is survived by his children, Susan Marie (John) Durham, Sally Noreen Shaff, his grandchildren Tiffany Wunderlich, Robert E Wunderlich and Kaylea Worm and seven great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his wife Connie Sue Shaff, son James Clinton Shaff II, Mother Alta Ruth, Brother Robert Shaff and sister Frances Miller.

To celebrate the life of Jimmy, please consider making a donation to La Puente Home and outreach. Both he and his wife were always big advocates for supporting local community outreach programs by always donating what they could to help their community.

Rogers Family Mortuary is in care of the arrangements. To leave words of comfort, tributes and remembrances for Jimmy’s family, please visit www.RogersFunerals.com.
