Janet Dibartolomeo

It is with extremely heavy hearts that we convey Janet Lee DiBartolomeo passed away on August 8, 2024.

Janet was born on June 26, 1946 to Merle and Darlene (Peterson) Combs in Salem, Oregon. She attended South Salem High School and then California State University in Chico. Jan met the love of her life, Carmine DiBartolomeo, in Dillon, Colorado in 2002 while he was visiting friends. They were married at Sapphire Point in Dillon, Colorado in 2004 and shared four children between them. She worked as a designer for Jack Reese Interiors in Kansas City, Missouri, and as a Police Administrative Assistant for the Town of Dillon Police Department. Janet retired from that position in 2015.

In her spare time, Janet loved to quilt -- she was the best quilter ever. She was a member of the Peace-Makers Quilting Group. Janet also loved decorative painting, embroidery, gardening, and traveling. She was the most positive, loving, and giving person with an infectious smile. As the wonderful person she was, her mantra was "Enter a stranger, leave as a friend."

Janet was so thankful for all of the generous help, love, and support that was shown to her as she battled cancer. It truly made a positive difference during a trying time.

Janet leaves her love, Carmine; her daughters, Krista Mobley and Jodi DiBartolomeo; her sons, Mitchell Mobley and Brian DiBartolomeo; her sister, Ronna Gorman (Gregg); her brother, Allen Combs (Connie); five granddaughters and grandsons; and several nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, August 28, 2024 at 2:00 PM at Restlawn Funeral Home (201 N Oak Grove Rd, Salem, Oregon 97304). Light refreshments will be provided after the service.
