Samantha Jay Littles, born on December 2, 1982, in Kansas, left this world tragically and much too soon on May 24, 2025, in Blue Springs. Samantha, affectionately known for her outgoing personality and vibrant spirit, touched the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her. She was a beloved daughter, mother, sister, and friend, whose life was marked by her relentless pursuit of happiness and dedication to those she loved.

Samantha's greatest accomplishments were found in the laughter and joy of her family. Her heart overflowed with love for them.

Samantha’s career with Forvia in Blue Springs brought her fulfillment, but it was her selflessness that truly defined her. She was known for her willingness to help others without ever expecting anything in return, embodying a spirit of generosity that was as colorful as her personality. She approached life with an infectious enthusiasm that resonated in her love for vibrant colors, music, and the serene beauty of the ocean. Her walks were not just moments of solitude; they were adventures woven with her dreams and aspirations.

Samanatha is survived by her children, Korei (Jasman Frayling) Caldwell, Jerzi (Cameron Austin) Caldwell; mother, Judy Sloan; brother, Matthew Sloan; grandchildren, Thomas Patschke and Ramaiao Caldwell; extended family and dear friends. She is preceded in death by her father, Lawerance W. Sloan.

Samantha's life was a tapestry of joyful color, friendship, and devotion. She lived her life immersed in love and laughter, and her spirit will continue to inspire those who follow in her footsteps. As we remember Samantha, let us not only mourn what has been lost but also celebrate the profound impact she had on our lives, forever leaving us with cherished memories and the lesson that love knows no bounds.

Cremation is planned with a celebration of life to take place at a later date.
