Support for Samantha and Colton's Funeral

The family of the late Samantha Jerrell and her son Colton appreciate the community’s support in this time of great loss. After receiving numerous requests asking how to help, we have set up this fundraiser to help with their funeral expenses. Any funds raised that surpass funeral expenses will be used to support Samantha’s teenage daughter, Trenity.

Samantha was a 36-year-old mother who faced more hard times than any young woman should have to. But despite every obstacle thrown her way, she not only came out on top but she did so stronger than ever with a smile and an inspirational quote to guide her next steps. She listened with her whole heart and made friends with everyone who she thought needed her. She loved her children and family with every fiber of her being.

Colton was a 14-year-old student at Linton-Stockton High School. He was a momma’s boy through and through, and his sister was his best friend. Even when Colton could spend weekends with his friends, his favorite place was curled up in bed with his mom and his dog. Colton’s red hair and freckles made him stand out in a room, but it was his love for his family and friends that made him stand out to everyone who loved him.

The family is thankful for the community’s love and support during the hardest days of our lives trying to navigate the loss of two incredibly special people.
