Samantha Kaye Williams entered the world on May 26th, 1990 in Hobbs, New Mexico. She was called home to her Lord & Savior on July 14th, 2025, where she was reunited with many of her loved ones that went before; Her father, Rick Williams, her grandparents, Wayne Williams and Jeanette & Bobby Rice, her stepfather, Russell Norris and other friends & family whom she loved and rejoiced in seeing again.
Samantha had the biggest heart and loved fiercely, and as a testament to that, she leaves behind many that are going to miss her dearly. Her daughter, Allison Costello, was the light of Samantha's life, she loved Allison more than anything. Her Mother, Suzanne Norris, her siblings, Kelli Williams, Bobby Williams, Jake Norris & Jordyn Gruenewald, her grandmother, Ellen Phillips, nieces & nephews, Katelynn, Parker, Colton, Race & Walker are just a few of the people who will miss Samantha dearly, along with many more friends and family.
Samantha had a way of connecting with people that made them feel heard, feel appreciated and feel loved. No matter how dark the room-or the world, she could ignite a flame within anyone, enhancing the good in whoever she came into contact. It didn't matter if she had barely met you, or had been lifelong friends; if she loved you, she had your back no matter what.
In her day to day, Samantha pursued a career in interior remodeling & construction, where she excelled and proved day after day, that she worked with the strength of a man. A true collector of all things, she was always keeping an eye out for a new project. There was nothing that she couldn't build or fix, and she took pride in being able to take something old and worn out & turn it into something beautiful. Samantha attended New Beginnings church, where she was baptized and born again.
Samantha was a fighter. Whether it was tackling life's struggles, helping a friend in need, or fighting with her little brother in intense airsoft battles; she fought hard and faced whatever came her way on her feet, standing tall.
She will be missed deeply by those who knew her. Her light made this world a little brighter, and lives on in those who she loved.
Services will be on Wednesday, July 23rd at 2:00 pm at New Beginnings Church.

Sam, left a carbon footprint in this life. When I think of Sam,I hear her saying "CUZ". She had a love for her family. No matter what she was doing she would drop everything when someone was in need. She was the most giving person with the outlook on life that it´s all going to be okay. I´m so sorry Allison, stay strong and beautiful, Sam is still always with you, and forever grateful she was chosen to be your mother.

I will miss you my friend. You made sure you checked on me when others weren't. We had plans in place as soon as I was off antibiotics and could get around. I'm in the hospital and won't make it today. It bothers me. I love you and will miss you and your beautiful soul.

I'm still having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that you're gone I pray that your daughter finds peace and comfort in the days to come I know it's not going to be easy for her but you had a lot of people that loved you that'll help her and I'll do my part to make sure that your memory stays alive and you're not forgotten. The world definitely became a darker place now that you're no longer in it fly high sweet angel.
