Shelby Stanga has a small family with wife Donna Gaff and their dog Willy. Donna lives with her husband in Louisiana.
The logger's wife is reportedly a Jehova's Witness, and the pair also appeared in an episode of Jehovah's Witness. Stanga met her before he was cast in History Channel's Ax Men.
Donna has appeared many times with her husband in his reality show. And although many think she is not as tough as her partner, in reality, she has done and still does things that most refrain from doing.
Consider Stanga's Facebook post of March 2012, where he explained how his wife has been portrayed on the show as a dainty little city girl, but she is far from it.
Graff has jumped in the water, pulled logs, camped under an umbrella in the swamp, driven the boat and the marsh buggy (impressive), and sometimes even outfished the swamp man.
In every way, she is the real Swamp Queen. In Season 4 Episode 16 of Ax Men, Donna appears alongside her husband to help him bring in a special order of Swamp Man. The episode aired on April 10, 2011.
She returned in Season 5 Episode 3 (No Pain, No Gain). In the episode that aired on January 22, 2012, the couple called in backup to fill special orders for Swamp Man so they could pay hospital and repair bills.
In Season 6 Episode 9 (Gators and Hand Grenades), Stanga used a dummy grenade to prank his spouse. Graff has also been featured in The Legend Of Shelby The Swamp Man and Return of the Swamp Man.
