Jan Majkut-Shelton Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 20, 2025.
Jan Marie Majkut-Shelton, 52, of Springfield, Missouri passed away in her home on Monday, August 11th, 2025. Jan was born in Milford, Connecticut in 1973 to Jan Paul Majkut and Janet Marie Majkut née Lindgren. After growing up in Milford, CT, Jan started her own family in Port Charlotte, Florida. After more than twenty years of friendship, Jan moved to Springfield to marry the man she loved.

Throughout her life, Jan's love touched her friends, family, and pets. As a cosmetologist, Jan helped everyone see their best self. Hers were always the brightest smiles, the loudest cheers, and the warmest hugs. She enjoyed helping her friends, visiting family, and cheering for the New York Yankees.

Jan was predeceased by her loving father, Jan; her aunt, Carol; her uncles, John and Tommy; and her cousins, Lisa and Heather. She is survived by her doting husband, Daniel Shelton of Springfield, MO; her loving mother, Janet Marie Majkut of Naugatuck, CT; her beloved children, Danielle Chittem and her husband Joseph Rindosh of Merrimack, NH and Marco Guzman and his fiancee Katy Stamps of Washington, DC; her brother, Keith Majkut, and his wife, Karen Majkut of Dunstable, MA; her nephew, Benjamin Majkut, and niece, Susanna Majkut; her aunts Nancy Stodolski of Naugatuck, CT and Gail Lindgren-Herman of Waterbury, CT; her uncle Jerry Herskowitz of New Haven, CT; and cousins Jeri and Sean. A small memorial will be held on a future date.

You were someone I thought would be around forever. I guess a part of me foolishly took that for granted. I met you when I was 15 or 16 years old & you taught me so much through the years.

Rest easy, Raynbow. Rest in eternal peace. I love you, "Barbie".
