Her grandchildren fondly remember visiting and Sam always had free Taco Bell for them. She loved food and cooking for others; she always made sure there was more than enough to go around. She religiously watched Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Sam also enjoyed crocheting. Above all else, she cherished all of her grandchildren and spoke of them often.
