Samantha Hetrick Obituary
Born February 19, 2004, she was the daughter of Daryl Hetrick and Jamie (Bennett) Smith.
Sami was a 2022 graduate of Brookville High School.
She was a student at PennWest Clarion, where she was enrolled in the Nursing program.
In addition to her academic responsibilities, she also found time to coach gymnastics at the Brookville YMCA as well as provide private home health care.
She was protestant by faith.
Sami was a member of the Brookville Firemans Club and the YMCA.
She enjoyed hunting and boating. Running was also a favorite activity, as keeping herself physically fit was an important daily routine.
Sami also was an avid animal lover, and currently was a dog mom to Finnigan, Hank, Bailey and Molly. But the absolute most important thing in her short life was her family. Nothing brought her joy like a family gathering, picnic, celebration or the holidays.
In addition to her father, Daryl (Mandi) Hetrick of Brookville and her mother, Jamie (Chris) Smith also of Brookville, she is survived by her step-mother, Ashley Hetrick of Brookville; brothers, Blake Smith and Porter Hetrick, both of Brookville; a sister, Jaleesa Hetrick of Brookville; a step-brother, Rily Venesky; and step-sister, Emma Venesky, both of Brookville; paternal grandfather, Dave Hetrick of Erie; paternal grandmother, Debbie Hetrick of St. Petersburg, Fla.; her maternal grandparents, Dan and Kim Barber of Brookville; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins far too numerous to mention them all.
She was preceded in death by her great-grandmother, Patricia Bennett; great-grandparents, Don and Nancy Hetrick; and her great-grandmother, Patricia Jennings.
Visitation will be on Friday, September 5 from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. at the Shugarts Funeral Home Inc. in Brockway.
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 6, also at the funeral home, with Pastor Joni Williams officiating.
Burial will follow in the Riggs Cemetery at Richardsville.
