Samantha Andrieux Obituary

On Saturday, June 11, 2011, after a brief illness, Samantha L. Andrieux ("Sam") passed peacefully at her mother's home in Forestville, CA. She was predeceased by her father and adoring son Sean ("Lucky") LeFave Elerding. She is survived by her mother Carolyn, brothers David and Michael, daughter Vanessa, and grand children Camille and Nathan. Sam held many jobs over the years, but her true calling was as a grade school and special-ed teacher for the Baker Unified School District in southern California. Affectionately called "Miss A" by all of her kids, she truly felt she was making a difference in the lives of 'her' children. She will forever be remembered by many as a force of nature; as someone with a tough exterior but with a heart as big as the home she always opened to those in need. She was always there for the people in her life, no matter what, and she will be deeply missed. Sam requested that no public services be held for her. However, those wishing to remember Sam through a charitable donation, in her name, may contact Hospice By The Bay or The American Liver Foundation. A special donation page has been established in her honor at the following web address: go.liverfoundation.org/goto/samantha.andrieux

To my warm and beautiful friend Samantha. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and all the good times we have shared over the years. Like watching old movies and playing dominos with Patty until the sun came up or tubing it all day down the river. Rest in peace Sammie, love you & miss you, always.

I just heard of Linda's passing from Steve. What a beautiful obituary. So very sorry for your loss. I mostly remember my cousin, Linda from baby sitting for her and David. A sweet lovely girl. Her picture reminds me a little of Bob. David and Carol email if you get the chance and we can get reacquainted. My email is [email protected]. My heart and prayers are certainly with you guys. Love, Beverly Andrieux. Bob's neice:)
