Samantha Nicole Collins

March 19, 1991 – October 30, 2026

Samantha Nicole Collins, age 35, passed from this life on October 30, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of love, laughter, and cherished memories.

Samantha was beautiful, brilliant, bubbly, and full of life. She had an extraordinary mind, a kind heart, and a personality that could light up any room. There seemed to be nothing she couldn’t do, and her laughter and bright spirit were unforgettable.

Above all, Samantha loved God with all her heart. She had an incredible knowledge of Scripture and could quote nearly the entire King James Bible from memory. It was rare to spend much time with her without the conversation turning to her Heavenly Father. She loved finding humor in the Bible and often laughed about God’s sense of humor. She would jokingly declare, “God loves me more than anyone,” and just might try to convince you of it.

In her final conversation with her mother, Samantha said, “Momma, God is just so good, it amazes me.” Those words beautifully reflect her faith and the personal relationship she had with her Heavenly Father.

Samantha leaves behind her two beloved children, Reilee Sedrick Buck (born April 7, 2011) and Silas Sebastian Huse Forster (born November 22, 2021). She also shared a special bond with her nephew, Thomas Walker Campbell. She often told her sister Ashley that she never imagined she could love a child as much as her own until Walker came along.

She is also survived by her parents, Tommy and Brittni Collins and Keith and Rebecca Holloway; her sisters, Ashley Campbell (Kiefer), Hannah Young (Cody), Lillee Miller, and Courtney Miller; and her brothers, Billy Collins, Shawn Collins, Brandon Holloway, and Justin Holloway.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Daniel and Jerry Mae Hicks and Bill and Pearl Collins.

Samantha also leaves behind a host of family and friends who will forever treasure her memory.

Though her time here was far too short, the love she gave, the laughter she shared, and the faith she lived will never be forgotten.

Beautiful. Brilliant. Bubbly. Full of life. Full of faith. Forever loved
