Marguerite Janczewski

Our dearest mother and grandmother, age 96, went to her eternal reward on November 21, 2025, on the same date her beloved mother, Helen, passed 29 years ago. Our sweet “Granny,” needed her baby to be with her, so they could rejoice in heaven together, along with all our family and friends, mom so dearly loved and missed. 

A native of Wilmington, Delaware; where she spent most of her life.  She graduated St. Hedwig Parochial School and immediately went to work to help support her family. After marrying, she became a homemaker until eventually rejoining the workforce. She worked for many years for the Hercules Corporation.  She is survived by her two daughters, Patricia Lebert (David) and Kathleen Sarnecky (Thomas); and her four grandchildren (Shawn, Alison, Aaron, and Joshua) and one great-grandson. 

Family and friends are invited to visit at the Doherty Funeral Home, 3200 Limestone Road, Pike Creek, on Tuesday, November 25, 2025 from 10:00-11:00am with funeral services immediately following at 11:00. Burial will be private.
