Samantha touched the lives of many people. She was a social butterfly, full of spunk and energy, with a kind soul who would help anyone. She was very friendly and outgoing.

Although Samantha is gone, she will remain in our hearts forever – "Gone Too Soon."

She is survived by her parents, Marilyn & Tim Saari and Denny & Jennine Schott; siblings, DJ Schott, Kaidan Schott, Ashley Saari, and Dillon Saari; grandparents, Donna Schott and Lorie Schott; along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
