Hi, my name is Gary, and I am Samantha Bailey’s uncle.

With a heavy heart, I am sharing that Samantha passed away on January 12, from Covid complications. She was only 34 years old and our family is still in shock.

Samantha leaves behind four beautiful kids, including a four-month-old baby. One of her children, Landon, is severely autistic and needs extra care and support, and he is already confused and heartbroken because his mom is not home.

Samantha and Patrick were together for nearly 20 years. Patrick is a hardworking father, but raising four children alone is more than one person can manage right now. Samantha’s parents, Cory and Nicole, are stepping in to help care for the children as the family grieves and adjusts.

We are starting this GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses and to support the children with immediate and ongoing needs like childcare, bills, essentials, and Landon’s specialized care.

If you are able to give, any amount helps. If you cannot, please consider sharing and keeping Samantha’s children and our whole family in your thoughts. Thank you for helping us take care of the kids Samantha loved more than anything.

With gratitude,

Gary
