She was preceded in death by her former spouse, Neil R. Greene; and her brother, William Elliott "Jiggs" Stephens.
She is survived by her husband, William Sampson; two daughters, Deborah Sampson and Donna Daniels Wade and husband Scott; two grandchildren, Brandon Wade and wife Barbara and Chris Gallant; six great-grandchildren; a sister-in-law, Annette Stephens Benton and husband Bill; a niece, Suzanne Stephens Fair; a nephew, William Stephens; several other special nieces and nephews; and special longtime friends Jean Dale & Gerald Britt.
The visitation will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at Floyd Mortuary & Crematory Inc.
The funeral will be held at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Mt. Elim Baptist Church, 645 Creek Road, Orrum, the Rev. James Graham officiating. Burial will follow at Meadowbrook Cemetery.

William & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss of precious Aunt Anne Jo. I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to speak with her one last time just a few weeks ago but little did I know that then. I pray that God wraps his arms around you during this time and comforts you in the way that only he can. Many prayers and love sent your way.
Love,
Brooke

We are so sorry for your loss, William. Mom (Lynn) really loved Anne Jo as a sister. If she could be there to pay her respects, she would be. This was the last time they saw each other.
