NORWAY — Diane L. Sampson, 57, of Norway, died Thursday, Nov. 15, at Stephens Memorial Hospital.

She was born in Lewiston, Aug. 25, 1955, the daughter of Asa and Alice Thorne Strout. She attended school in Poland and graduated from Oxford Hills High School. She married Neil Sampson on Jan. 1, 1988.

She had been employed as a social worker for Androscoggin Home Care and Hospice, and later owned and operated Ocean Breeze Tanning Salon with her husband.

She was a loving, caring person who would do anything for her family and friends. She loved riding her motorcycle through the mountains. She loved the ocean and would stay on the beach for days. Most of all, she loved her grand babies and would spoil them in any way she could. She will be forever missed.

She is survived by her husband of Norway; a son, Jason Thurlow and his wife, Stephanie, of Poland; a daughter, Melissa McDaniels and her fiancé, Jason Cohen, of West Paris; grandchildren, Brianna Thurlow, Zachary Thurlow, Jazmyne Cohen and Willow Cohen; her sister, Sandra Meserve and her husband, Bob, of Poland; her brother, Asa Strout Jr. and his wife, Jackie, of Oxford; and several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.

She was predeceased by a daughter, Karen.
