Majdolin S. Shaban

With heavy hearts and deep love, we remember and celebrate the life of the servant of God, Majdolin Samir Shaban of Chicago, IL. Majdolin, age 75, passed away peacefully on April 29, 2026 embraced by her loving family.

Born on March 5, 1951 in Amman, Jordan, Majdolin was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. Majdolin was preceded in death by her parents, Jamil and Nawara Haddad; her husband, Samir Shaban; and her siblings: Subhi (lMary) Haddad, Josephine (Michael) Haddad, Fuad (Alice) Haddad, Samir (Sawsan) Haddad, Nabeel (Fawzieh) Haddad and Raja Haddad. She is survived by her sister, Caroline Haddad; her children, Sufian, Zaidon, and Rania; and her beloved granddaughters, Mariah and Maureen Anbar.

Majdolin was truly one of a kind—a vibrant soul whose presence could light up any room. A natural social butterfly, she had a rare and beautiful gift: the ability to connect with anyone, anywhere. Whether with family, friends, or complete strangers, she could spark a conversation that lasted hours, leaving everyone feeling seen, heard, and valued.

Her kindness knew no limits. She was endlessly loving, generous beyond measure, and always ready to give of herself without hesitation. Majdolin had a quick wit and a wonderful sense of humor that brought laughter to those around her, even in the simplest of moments. Her wisdom, shared so effortlessly, touched lives in ways that will never be forgotten. She was the life of every gathering—the one who brought people together, lifted spirits, and made every occasion feel special. Being around her meant warmth, joy, and a sense of belonging.

Though our hearts ache in her absence, we carry forward her legacy of kindness, laughter, and connection. Her spirit lives on in the countless lives she touched and in the memories we will cherish forever. Majdolin will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever celebrated.

Eternal rest grant her O Lord and may perpetual light shine upon her. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
