Known as “Sam” to her family and friends, Samantha Pesaresi was truly the definition of a “giving” human being. Sam would drop everything to help someone in need and never ask for a thing in return. She was endlessly grateful and thankful for all that life had given her and lived each day to the fullest.
A 2012 graduate from Albright College, Sam was also a three-year starter on the college’s field hockey team. Post-graduation, Sam worked at Sheridan Communications(Alpha, NJ), was an assistant Field Hockey Coach for Woodglen Middle School(Lebanon Township), and had plans to attend Drexel University’s graduate program for library science.
On September 6, 2013 Sam passed away suddenly from a catastrophic brain aneurysm at the young age of 23. Because of her giving and selfless personality, her parents thought it was only fitting for her to be an organ donor. This decision allowed Sam’s death to save three lives the day that she passed.
Sam’s Spirit was formed by family and friends of Sam to continue her giving nature through working with the Gift of Life Family House and providing scholarships.
