I had Samantha (Sam) in 7th and 8th grade English in Circle and then as a cheerleader in high school. I turned 30 in Circle and Sam orchestrated a birthday party in class. Her birthday was one day before mine. I told her the best were born in February! Samantha had a great sense of humor and always had a quick comeback. I wasn’t surprised she became a teacher. I’m so sorry that she is no longer here physically, but she will live in her daughter and the wonderful memories!

Della, Buck and Tina and Vaira family,
Our hearts are broken for you. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. The first time we met Samantha, we drove out to your ranch with our dog to hopefully meet with your dog and eventually end up with golden retriever puppies. This happy smiling, blond headed talkative little girl came running out … so excited to greet us and our dog. She had an amazing smile and an unusual warmth in a young child. It sounds like that did not change! Know that we are sending our love and prayers to you from our hearts…… The world has lost a good, amazing soul.
Mike, Cori , Collin and Robbie Radakovich

God bless Samantha and give strength to her family through this difficult time. Sam loved and was loved. The beautiful obituary and the service were a testament of how extraordinary Samantha was and how she was loved by her family. Samantha is in paradise with Jesus. She will forever be remembered. God Speed Samantha and I don’t doubt you will teach children in Heaven. Our West Side community will miss your caring spirit and infectious smile!
