Samantha loved books, music, going for walks at the zoo and trails, and finding tunnels on her bicycle sidecar. Even with half of a heart, her big smile and contagious laugh brought joy to everyone around her. Her favorite places were West Side Market and Daddy’s lap. She always enjoyed visits and playtime with her neighborhood friends and family.
Samantha was in her senior year at Mayfield High School. She loved her time with her fellow classmates and staff.
