Samantha was a young, vibrant, chatty, fun loving and energetic person. She filled the room with joy and was always making people laugh. She loved going out, spending time with her family and friends, she had such zest and enthusiasm for life. People went to Samantha for counsel and advice and she would cheer them up, she always had the ability to make even the bleakest situations seem hopeful. She used this spirit throughout her battle with Ovarian Cancer, and amongst our family we say, “If cancer had been a battle of the mind, Samantha would still be here today, because she was so determined and positive”. Samantha was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in September 2008 at the age of 33 sadly she died just 6months later at the age of 34 on February the 28th 2009; she left behind three beautiful children Shaniqua, Keanu and Ethan and countless family and friends She is deeply missed by all that knew her, she occupies a place in all our hearts and we shall remember her always. Samantha was an Amazing Mother, Daughter, Sister, Granddaughter, Aunty, Niece, Cousin and most of all Friend. Her battle with Ovarian Cancer was fought with difficulty; we want to ensure that her death was not in vain and through her experience other women can be saved; Thus we want to support Target Overian Cancer so that they can raise awareness of ovarian cancer and support research into finding cure and better treatment for sufferers. Rest in peace Samantha Corrine Edwards-Hayde, may your spirit live on and your story be told to others, so that valuable lessons can be learnt and lives can be saved, WE LOVE YOU!
