Janet Sample Obituary
Janet Wynn Sample, 80, of Salisbury, passed quietly on August 6, 2021 to join her beloved mother and father in heaven.
Loving wife to her sweetheart Tom for over fifty years, and tolerant and protective big sister for seventy five years to her little brother, David.
Janet was a graduate of Upsala College in East Orange, NJ, and spent her working years as a social worker in several mid-shore social service agencies.
Janet was a devout Catholic, and volunteered for many years at the Joseph House. The family would appreciate donations in Janet's name to the Joseph House, a non-profit charitable organization that helps the poor and homeless of mid-Delmarva.
Janet's last wishes were that all her friends and family live long and fulfilling lives, and remember her in their prayers.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
We'll miss you, baby!
A memorial mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, August 11, 2021 at 11:00AM at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church.
Arrangements are in the care of Zeller Funeral Home in Salisbury.

Tom I am so sorry that Janet passed. I learned of it late through my sister Joan. I think we lost the best part of "Sam and Janet Evening"(Some Enchanted Evening) from so many years ago. Sorry old friend.

Tom I somehow missed the obituary and only learned of your heartbreaking loss when my sister Joan told me. We lost the best half of "Sam and Janet Evening" (Some Enchanted Evening?) Sorry old friend
