On November 25, 2022, Samantha Valentine Humphrey, 14, lost a short but ferocious battle with evil itself, and passed into infinity. Sammy, who was born in Metairie, Lousiana, is survived by a multitude of loving and devastated family and friends, who will remember her with joy and pain until they follow.

She is also survived by her adored cats, and Zoey and Bruno, loving and loyal mutts blessedly unable to understand their loss of a best friend. Samantha was and is a light in the dark, with talents, loves, and dreams. Her Brother-in-Arms Mattox Akira Humphrey will carry that flame for us as we fade.

A brief memorial service will be held Saturday, March 4, 2023 at Daly Funeral Home, 242 McClellan St., Schenectady, at promptly 2pm, to be followed by visitation until 4pm.

Her ashes will grace the bright ocean beaches she loved and missed. Flowers are appreciated but in lieu, donations can be made to the Maple Avenue Animal Protective Foundation.

Rest in power, Sam. Our love for you is far, far beyond measure.
