Through the years she was very involved in various church ministries including Women's Ministry, Sunday School, and Vacation Bible School at Broadacres and Willow Point Baptist Church.   Sam's laugh was contagious and would light up any room she walked into. She was known for her cooking and took pride in her fried chicken. Mamaw also loved supporting her grandchildren. On game day, she would dress from head to toe in their team colors. She always greeted her grandkids as they arrived home from school with their favorite snacks.   Honoring her as pallbearers will be David Burden, Justin Ivey, Keith Knox, Jared Lupo, Connor Randel, Steve Repasky, Mike Travis, David Travis, and honorary pallbearer Brett Johnson.   The family would like to thank Andrell White and Leona Jones for all the love and tender care shown to her. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to First Baptist Church of Greenwood.
