Samantha Marie Santomango

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The best Mom, the best wife, the best daughter, a loving family member and friend has battled Diabetes and Kidney Disease for years. As strong and hard as she fought, the Kidney Disease has taken her from us June 8, 2023. She will be dearly missed by all whom knew her! Samantha was such an amazing “Mama Bear” to her son, Alexander and daughter, Clarissa. She loved and felt adored by her husband Mark. Sam’s beloved siblings, brother, Sean and his wife Kalynn Dyer with newborn twins; and her sister, Shannon Renee Dyer. Her parents felt so proud and absolutely blessed to call her “daughter” whom are Wayne Dyer, (mom) Edwina Dyer/Colcord, Okla. (deceased), (dad) Bruce and Sylvia Wallingford, and Sammy was also blessed with the most amazing parent in-laws, Thomas and Mary Santomango; and sister in-law, Tammy Santomango (deceased). Sammy was blessed with a HUGE family whom she loved very much and they all loved her dearly! Help us celebrate Samantha’s life! As broken as we all are, by sharing our loving memories and being as happy as we can be, we will be fulfilling her wishes June 17 from 11 to 1 p.m., Dyer Funeral Home, 798 S. Willow Rd., Cookeville, TN 38501 and June 24 from 6 to 9 p.m., American Legion Hall, Dunn St., Westbrook, ME 04092.
