Parents Barry Wudel and Kathleen Butler celebrate the life of their daughter, Samantha Wudel, while grieving their loss.

Samantha was a world traveler and adventurer. As a testament to her caring and resilient nature, she chose a career providing humanitarian services to those far from home with the American Red Cross and service to the Armed Forces, at American military installations worldwide, including multiple operational deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait and Poland. She is survived by her loving parents, Barry and Kathleen, stepmother Lori Wudel, and many Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. She was a passionate friend to many, a sister to April and Amanda, and a doting auntie to Kait and Maddie, who will miss her influence immensely. Samantha enjoyed travel, reading, cooking, crafting, SCUBA and Sky Diving, motorcycles, running, and loved dogs. She is preceded by her beloved Doobie, and with their good buddy Cooper, they are now running together again. She lives in the hearts of so many, giving us the strength we need during this most unbearable time.

Service arrangements are incomplete at this time and will be announced by Adcock Funeral Home & Crematory, Spring Lake, NC.
