Shelley A. Wilton, D.C.

Wainiha, HI - Shelley A. Wilton, D.C., 59, of Huntington, Massachusetts and Wainiha, Hawaii passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 29, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of courage, strength, and boundless love.

Born in Adams, Massachusetts, Shelley was the cherished daughter of Wayne Wilton and the late Kathleen (Powers) Wilton. A graduate of Hoosac Valley High School (Class of 1984), Shelley earned her Doctorate in Chiropractic Practice from Palmer College in California. She devoted her life to chiropractic care, compassionately serving her patients through her practices in Easthampton and Huntington, Massachusetts. Her work was far more than a profession; it was a calling, and she touched many lives through her incredible skill set, dedication, and kindness. She was a truly gifted multidimensional healer.

Shelley led a life of service. She supported her community by donating to several local charities and established Derrill's Race, which honored a former patient and friend by raising funds for cancer research.

Beyond her work, Shelley found great joy in traveling, particularly to the island of Kauai, where she felt most at home. An avid animal lover, she had a strong, unique bond of trust and unconditional love with her beloved dog, Shamus. Shelley shared her passion for the outdoors with her family and friends - hiking, gardening, fishing, snorkeling, mountain biking, snowmobiling and embracing life's challenges for the sheer joy of the experience. She also excelled in basketball during high school and college and loved watching the game with her friends.

Shelley will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her father, Wayne Wilton; sister, Carrie Wilton, her niece, Miranda Wilton; great nephew, Remington Wilton; her great niece, Layla Bigelow; a large family of cousins; and her beloved tribe of close friends stretching from Massachusetts to Hawai'i.

Her family and friends wish to extend their sincere gratitude to the medical teams at Dana Farber and Brigham and Women's in Boston for the excellent care they provided.

To honor Shelley's memory, please consider a donation to the Hawai'i Reef Guardians at ( https://www.reefguardians.org/ ) , the Hawai'i Land trust (https://www.hilt.org/) , or a local animal shelter or land trust of your choice.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
