Frances Samsel Obituary
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Frances J. Samsel, age 85, of Dallas, Georgia, who passed away on February 16, 2025. She was born on October 6, 1939, in Elizabeth, New Jersey to the late Frances Van Pelt and Anna Hauss Van Pelt.
Frances dedicated over 30 years of her career as a secretary at Pharmacaps, where she was known for her diligence, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to her work.
Beyond her career, Frances had a passion for the outdoors, often spending days fishing on the boat with her beloved husband, Tony. Those moments were some of her happiest, filled with laughter and love. Additionally, she found joy in painting, expressing her creativity through beautiful artwork that touched the hearts of many.
She is preceded in death by loving husband, Anthony Samsel and her parents, Frances and Anna Vanpelt.
Frances is survived by her sons, Michael Hasenauer and William Hasenaur; her daughter, Jackie Martino; and her grandson, Michael Zambrano.
A private service will be held in New Jersey at a later date to honor Mrs. Frances Samsel.
