Twila Mae Shoaff

1946-2025

SALEM — Twila Mae Shoaff, passed away peacefully on Oct. 9, 2025, in her hometown of Salem.

Born on Nov. 2, 1946, to the late Franklin and Mabel (Allison) Willard, Twila was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, married to the love of her life, Robert Leroy Shoaff, on April 3, 1965. Their cherished union continued until Robert’s passing on May 11, 2006.

Together, they raised two wonderful children, Scott (Kimberly) Shoaff of Salem, and Diana (John) King, of Akron. Her sister, Wendy Phillips, alongside her grandchildren, Taylor Shoaff, James King, and Micheal King, and her three great-grandchildren, Oliver, Austin, and Isla, will forever remember Twila’s unyielding love and the countless joyful moments they shared.

Though Twila is predeceased by her eight sisters, four brothers, and her beloved cat, Molly, the family bonds she formed and nurtured throughout her life remain unbreakable.

Twila relished playing bingo and was a frequent face at local auctions with her friends. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends who she found the most joy spending time with.

Calling hours will be from 5 to 7 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2025, at Stark Memorial Funeral Home and Cremation Services.
