Samantha was born in Eden, North Carolina, on January 14, 1984 to Richard “Ricky” and Avis Hazelwood Minter. Samantha was a graduate of J. M. Morehead High School, class of 2002. She worked at Sovah Hospital in Martinsville at a job she loved in CMU/ Telemetry Technician. She was well loved by her co-workers. She had a loving spirit, generous heart, beautiful smile and sweet personality. Her hobbies were reading, making jewelry, diamond art, and writing short stories. Samantha loved the Atlanta Braves, with Chipper Jones being her all-time favorite player, and NASCAR, especially Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Other than her parents and two siblings, her greatest loves were her niece, Evelynne, two nephews, August and Asher, and her four-legged babies, Molly and Maddux.

Left to treasure her memory are her parents, Ricky and Avis, her sister, Courtney M. Stowe (Will), brother, Adam (Rachel), and beloved aunt, Vickie M. Corum and many cousins.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Winfred and Margaret Hazelwood and William “Bo” and Lucille Minter.

Because of Samantha’s generous nature and thoughtfulness, she was an organ donor and will live on in others.
