She was a devoted army wife, housewife, and served as a scout leader for her children. She loved her cats, and her beloved companion, Baby, will miss her dearly. Samm truly cherished spending time with her family and friends. She was loved dearly and had a funny sense of humor like no other. She will be missed by all who knew her.
