Died to this life on Saturday, January 27th, 2024 at the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in Barrie at the age of 46 years. Beloved spouse of Chad Bruce. Loving mother of Abigail (Blake), Madeline and Maxwell. Loving daughter of the late Thomas Fraser (2007) and Linda Fraser-Miller and step father David Miller. Dear sister of the late Adam Fraser (2018). Dear stepsister of Jeffrey Miller (Meghan) and Jennifer Shaver (Walter). Will be dearly missed by many aunts, uncles, cousins and other extended family members and friends.
Samantha spent a lot of her life with her ever growing family and friends. She touched so many lives in her short time in this world and many would know her as an ever happy, positive and warm-hearted woman. Sam found her lifelong best friend in Chad when they were in high school, and they had three beautiful children over the years. From there she built her life around her children and anyone that knew her would agree that her kids were the light of her life. Her life with the Lens Crafters family was one she deeply enjoyed, giving her so many lifelong friends that she truly cared for like an extended family. In 2019 Sam was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she did numerous treatments and fought a long hard battle. Throughout her battles with cancer, she proceeded to do as much as she possibly could with her family. Many arts and crafts were done, and small family adventures were taken creating lifelong memories. Chad and family will forever be grateful for the beloved time they had with Samantha.
