SAMANTHA LEIGH SANTOSKI

September 9, 1987 - June 20, 2022

Samantha Leigh Santoski was born on the 9th of September 1987, and went to heaven on Monday, the 20th of June 2022. She was 34 years of age.

Samantha was a beautiful person, inside and out.

She was kind and giving and would always shine her brightness onto those who needed it most. She was young and passionate, a lover of arts, fashion, photography and enjoyed music and playing the guitar.

Samantha loved riding her Sea Doo and playing with her dogs, Monkey and BB.

Samantha attended the University of Saint Thomas, Houston, Saint Edwards University, Austin, The Art Institute Illinois, Chicago, and was just finishing her studies at Paul Mitchell the School Houston. She was about to embark on a new career as a cosmetologist where she would utilize her artistic talents on others.

Samantha loved life. She lived on the edge. She loved to go fast, take chances, and push herself to the limit.

Samantha loved her friends and family. Getting dressed up and going out to eat or traveling to new and wonderful places. Samantha was a loving and creative person who loved to make people happy. She had the most beautiful smile that would light up your soul.

Samantha loved writing poetry and songs that often reflected her deep thoughts on life. We will always remember her infectious smile, beautiful eyes, and warm, witty personality. Her presence and imprint on our lives will be sorely missed.

Samantha is survived by her mother, Paula Santoski, her father, Robert Santoski; her younger brother, Robert Santoski, Jr.; her stepfather, Jack Doane; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, and friends.

Friends are cordially invited to a visitation with the family from six until eight o’clock in the evening on Friday, the 1st of July, in the grand foyer of Geo. H. Lewis & Sons, 1010 Bering Drive in Houston.

In lieu of customary remembrances, the family requests with gratitude that memorial contributions in her name be directed to the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center at https://gifts. mdanderson.org/
