Mrs. Sampson was my kindergarten teacher many years ago (and my first crush). She sparked in me and in countless others a lifelong love of learning. I have never forgotten the priceless lessons taught, far beyond academics. I truly thank God for the life of Mrs. Marjorie Sampson. We are certainly praying for the family.

I want to extend my heartfelt sympathy to the Sampson Family at this difficult time. I was so blessed to have Mrs. Sampson as my Kindergarten Teacher at Blairwood ES. I have so many precious memories which I still hold dear to my heart today. She was a very patient, kind, and loving teacher who worked to empower us towards independence each moment of the day. One time I was fortunate for her to take the time to drive me to my house in her brown 1970 Fleetwood Cadillac with the tan top (smile).
Sampson Family, please know a good life leaves behind seeds that keep growing. Your mother's stories, values, and love of family all live on in you and even her former students...what a wonderful and blessed legacy. Mrs. Sampson was a dynamic Jefferson Township Educator. I am so honored to have experienced her during my educational journey.
