Janice A. Sanson, 80, of McDonald, passed away peacefully on January 10, 2026, at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Youngstown. She was born on February 18, 1945, in Fairmont, West Virginia, the daughter of Harvey and Clara (Vandergrift) Kline. Janice was a graduate of East Fairmont High School. On November 1, 1964, she married Donald K. Sanson, and together they raised three sons. Janice devoted her life to her family as a homemaker. She found joy in cheering on the Cleveland Guardians, playing cards, and keeping up with her favorite television "stories." Above all, she treasured time spent with her family. Janice was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Donald; and her brothers, Harvey and Richard Kline. She is survived by her sons, Jeffrey K. (Kelly) Sanson, Joseph S. (Angela) Sanson, and Jason T. (Becky) Sanson; and her grandchildren, Josh Sanson, Olivia (Dustin) DeMarsico, Chelsea Sanson, Allison Sanson, Kyle Sanson, and Zachary Sanson. The family will hold a private graveside service, where Janice will be laid to rest beside her husband.
