SAMANTHA SMITH Obituary

Samantha Jo Smith, 38, beloved mother of five, sister, aunt, daughter, and friend passed away on April 27, 2023 at her home in Juneau, Alaska. She was a dedicated and loving mother of five beautiful children, they were her pride and joy.

Samantha loved filling her home with music while rearranging furniture, singing in the shower, and having dance parties with her children. She found joy in photography, gardening, and decorating their home during the holidays. Samantha never passed up an opportunity for a beachside campfire! Above all else there is nothing in the world she enjoyed more than just being with her children. Her family will always miss her playful personality and laughter.

Samantha Jo Smith is survived by her five children: Eliya Blomquist, Sean Blomquist, Alexander Blomquist, Jamison Smith, and Ciara Sexton. Her mother, step father and three siblings: Debra Burkhardt, Walter Burkhardt, Tonia Hanson, Jesse Smith and Sarah Smith. Samantha was preceded in death by her father Leonard Smith, grandparents Ann Burkhardt and Walter Burkhardt.
