Samantha Brown, age 30, of Triangle, VA passed away on 24 April 2021. Sam fought an epic battle with colon cancer for almost 2 years, inspiring friends and family with her intense level of bravery and steadfast determination.

Fondly nicknamed “Buddha” as an infant, Sam was born on June 5, 1990 in Woodbridge, VA to parents Scott G. Brown and Dale K. Linder. She was raised in Woodbridge and Burke, VA and graduated from Lake Braddock Secondary School. Sam, with her sparkling eyes and witty humor, was forever a kid at heart. She loved everything related to Christmas: cheesy Hallmark movies, singing Christmas carols, and visiting Santa at the mall. While cuddling with her dog Peanut Butter and sipping Cherry Dr. Pepper, Sam thoroughly enjoyed watching movies – her favorites being anything to do with Adam Sandler, as well as all Disney and Harry Potter movies. Sam also loved the beach and every single dog.
