Janice Marie (Wolf) Zorb, 73, of Pomeroy, passed away Sunday, Aug. 3, 2025, at Garfield County Hospital in Pomeroy, with her devoted husband, Patrick Zorb, by her side.
Janice was born Dec. 22, 1951, in Colfax, to Paul and Dorothy (Manderfeld) Wolf. After graduating from high school, she attended Kinman Business School. Throughout her career she worked at Garfield County Hospital, ALTC and played a key role in helping to establish Garfield County Transportation.
In 1973, she married Patrick Zorb, and together they raised three children MayRene, David and Stephanie. Janice found great joy in spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She loved camping and creating memories outdoors with those closest to her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Dorothy; her beloved son, David Zorb; and her sisters, Donna Bartlow and Mary Jane Wolf.
The family would like to extend special thanks to the staff at Garfield County Memorial Hospital and Manor for their compassionate care and support.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Janice's memory to Garfield County Memorial Hospital and Manor.
