July 19, 1982 – May 27, 2021
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our daughter, Samantha Lawless, on Thursday May 27th, 2021 at the age of 38 years. Samantha was born July 19, 1982 and raised in Flower’s Cove.
Family was very important to Samantha and her family dearly loved her. She had a large number of cousins whom she shared many memories with. She loved telling stories about her loved ones and usually it would end with a laugh. She had an amazing and joyful personality. She also loved her dog Bella whom brought a lot of love and joy to her life.
Samantha had a zest for life and a smile for everyone. She would brighten a room with her smile, her story telling and sometimes being her goofy silly self. In turn everyone had a smile for her. Her passions in life were darts, gardening and spending time with friends. She was a prime example that goodness still exists in the world. Samantha was a beautiful soul and exhibited a spirit of her own.
She graduated from high school in 2000 and her classmates remain a very close group even to this day. The amount of support that was offered to help their classmate during her difficult time was amazing and greatly appreciated by Samantha.
We would also like to add a special mention to her dear friend Patricia Tatchell, or Patsy as Samantha would say. Whether it was a trip to Corner Brook, a shoulder to lean on or an ear to listen Patsy was there for her and Samantha adored her. Her cousin Krista Burke was a support during her last few months and through her illness. Patsy and Krista were Samantha’s dynamic duo and tag team who she also loved to tease and have a laugh.
Jack and Lavenia will have many memories and stories to share of Samantha moving forward. As will many others who knew her. She will always be a shining star as bright as her personality. Rest easy our angel.
Leaving to mourn are her parents Jack and Lavinia Lawless, brother Alvin (Debra), Uncles: Ignatius (Shirley), Mark (Betty), Bill (Colleen), Fulton (Peggy), Mike (Gladys), Cletus (Kay), Rudy, and Brent ; Aunts: Mary (Gerald), Beatrice (Jock), Christine (Winston), Audrey (John), Lily (John), Aliza (Frank) and many wonderful cousins and friends.
