Samantha Smith Obituary

Born on August 5, 1997, Samantha Jo Smith, with her mom and dad by her side, joined her pawpaw in heaven who preceeded her in death. Her calling was on March 23, 2026. She was small in stature but her heart was mighty. She had a love for animals, especially Gus, her pug rescue. I imagine he was there to greet her as well. She leaves behind her dad, Alfred Smith and mom, Tracey Stevens Smith, both of Roanoke. Left to cherish her memory, include uncles, Andy (Charlotte) Stevens, Sam (Steff) Stevens; aunts, Becky Henry, Jeanette Lawson, Tabitha (Mike) Hale; and numerous cousins from both sides of the family.

A celebration of life will come at a later date.
