Obituary:

Samantha Simone Johnson, 25, of Orlando, departed this life on Wednesday, July 21, 2021. Sam was born on July 19, 1996 in Orlando, Florida to Jean and Leslie Johnson. Even as a child, Samantha was gentle and nurturing and loved by anybody she encountered.

Her education path started at Orlo Vista Elementary, and she went onto Chain of Lakes Middle School and graduated from Jones High School. During her years at Jones High School, she was a part of the orchestra and played the violin. After high school, Samantha assisted her dad with his rental business until his passing. Samantha was a quiet, reserved young lady who was very good at fixing things. Her mechanical and technical skills allowed her to take care of many of the things in the house. She was good wither hands and often figured out how to fix the garage door among other things.

Samantha had a green thumb! She loved planting and gardening. At the back of her house she planted mango, banana, avocado trees and mint. She also loved taking care of her fish and a couple of months ago bought a huge fish tank. Interestingly enough she cleaned it the day before she passed away. Her sense of responsibility was beyond her years and this was appreciated by her family.

Samantha enjoyed attending church with close family friends, the Wellingtons, and spent time being active in Sabbath school where she learned about the principles of Christ. Samantha was very optimistic about her future and had recently acquired a job and celebrated her 25th birthday wither family.

Samantha leaves to cherish her memories: mother, Jean Johnson; sisters, Opaine Hinds, Blondel Johnson, Toshi McCants, Latresia Brown; brothers, Oraine Johnson, Leslie Johnson (Shantana), John Cooper; aunts, uncle, and a host of nieces, nephews, and many friends. May her soul rest in peace!
