Samantha Marie Calvin
November 4th, 1997- November 8th, 2023

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the untimely passing of our beloved Samantha. She was a cherished daughter, granddaughter, mother, sister, niece and cousin, leaving behind an irreplaceable void. Samantha was an extraordinary woman who touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Born on November 4th, 1997, Samantha brought immense joy and happiness to her family from the moment she entered their lives. She was a devoted mother to her daughters, Callie and Divinity. Samantha was a loving daughter to Trish Hostler, granddaughter to Millie and Keith Hostler Sr., sister to Qosos Hostler and Dusty Rhodes, niece to Sandra, Kristi, and Keith Jr. “Lil Boozer” Hostler, and cousin to many. Her presence brought light and laughter to every gathering.

As a mother, Samantha was an example of love and devotion. Her two daughters were the center of her world, and she poured her heart and soul into raising them. She instilled in them the values of kindness, resilience, and determination, ensuring they would grow up to be strong, independent women, just like their mother.

Samantha was fortunate to have her aunt and uncle, Sandra and Shade Calvin, as her loving guardians. They provided her with unwavering support, guidance, and unconditional love throughout her life. Their bond was unbreakable, and their presence in her life brought her immeasurable comfort and stability.

In addition to her role as a mother and niece, Samantha was a cherished friend to many. Her infectious laughter, warm personality, and genuine care for others made her a beacon of light in the lives of those around her. She had a unique ability to make everyone feel valued and loved, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of calling her a friend. Though her time with us was tragically cut short, Samantha leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and resilience. Her memory will forever be etched in the hearts of her daughters, family, and friends.
