Her parents were born in Scotland. After they emigrated with Janet to British Columbia, Canada, her siblings were born there.

On 4 Oct 1930, Janet Mauchline, age 23 and waitress, married Richard Arnold Sampson, age 27 and dairyman, at 2532 Yew Street, Vancouver, B.C. One of the witnesses was Jean Rae Mauchline. Their religious affiliation was with the United Church. At the time she was married, she lived at 1241 Georgia St, W. Vancouver, B.C.

Later in her life as a widow, she lived at #20 - 1101 West 8th Ave, Vancouver, B.C. She was a cook in a Rest Home Kitchen.

On Nov 1, 1986, Janet Stewart (Mauchline) Sampson, age 79, died of multiple massive trauma in a car accident as her car was hit broadside by another car at 54th Ave & Oak St, Vancouver, B.C. The report noted the incident as a homicide. Informant was her sister, signing her name as, Margarett Elizabeth Lins. Arrangements were with Mount Pleasant Funeral Home in Vancouver and burial was on Nov 7, 1986 in Mountainview Cemetery in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

Note: Possible confusion on the spelling of her middle name as her birth certificate has "Stewart", but her death certificate has "Stuart". No problem, she signed her marriage certificate with "Stewart".
