 A dedicated daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend. Sam spent her life enjoying reading and learning. She always said the snail was her spirit animal. She loved birds, flowers, and plants. She was a person that people would sit and talk to and fall in love with her. She was a gentle, quiet soul who always looked for the good in others and treated all people lovingly

Sammy was a devout Catholic and supported multiple causes through donations and fundraising, including St. Joseph Indian School, UnBound, and St. Jude’s Research Hospital.

 Sam cherished being with family and friends and listening to music or reading. A very generous soul who opened her home and heart to multiple people who were considered family.

 Private services will be held at a later date in Emmitsburg , MD. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations in her name to St. Jude’s Research Hospital.
