Samantha was a devoted mother, cherished daughter, sister, and friend. She attended Lebanon schools before graduating from Western Boone High School in 2005. Samantha was a stay-at-home mom and found her greatest joy in nurturing and raising her two beautiful children, Izaiah and Rosalie.

Samantha is now reunited in heaven with her grandparents, Charlie & Mildred Laney, and brother, Christopher Walkup, who preceded her in death.<\/p>\n
A celebration of Samantha’s life will take place at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 3, 2025, at Myers Mortuary, 1502 North Lebanon Street, in Lebanon, Indiana.
