Samantha's obituary
On November 17, 2025, the beloved Samantha Edmondson passed away unexpectedly at the young age of 26.
Samantha is survived by her loving parents and her five siblings, all of whom adored her deeply. She was a bright light in the lives of everyone she met; always giving, always smiling, and always finding joy in the little things.
Samantha loved to travel and had a special talent for baking cookies that she shared with friends, family, and coworkers. She was exceptionally smart and graduated from Polk State College with straight A’s. Her passion for learning and helping others guided her into meaningful work that truly reflected her heart.
She worked at the Orlando Science Museum, where she brought curiosity and excitement to the children she interacted with. In addition, she worked part time with Rise Against Hunger, traveling throughout the South to deliver meals to churches and shelters. Serving others brought her tremendous fulfillment, and she touched countless lives along the way.
As the Edmondson family faces this unimaginable loss, we are asking for support to help cover Samantha’s funeral and memorial expenses. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help ease the financial burden on her family during this painful time.
We are incredibly grateful for every message, prayer, donation, and act of kindness. Thank you for helping us honor Samantha’s beautiful life and memory.
