Janet L. Chalfant Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on December 21, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Janet L. Chalfant of Wilmington, Delaware. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Janet L. Chalfant to show support.

As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let her loved ones carry forward the torch of her memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of her love and the brilliance of her spirit. Though Janet may journey beyond the horizon of our sight, her essence remains woven into the very fabric of our being — a guiding light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in the night.

She was predeceased by: her parents, Susanna M. Diffendall (Layman) and Frank E. Diffendall; her son Stephen R. Chalfant; and her siblings, Francis Diffendall and Ruth McAvaney.

She is survived by: her husband Harold R. Chalfant; her daughters, Catherine "Andie" Chalfant and Maribeth A. Samluk (John J. Samluk); and her granddaughter Jesse T. Connell. She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, and close family friends.
