Samantha Morabito Obituary

Morabito, Samantha Norma Passed away suddenly at age 33. Beloved daughter of Sam and the late Sheryl; loving sister of late Jason; beloved granddaughter to the late Shirley Klobnack, Norma (nee Montori) and Joseph Morabito; cherished great-granddaughter of the late Florence Ecklund; beloved niece to Dennis Rezmer, Stacy (Jenny), Rob (George), Sandy (Ed), Sharon, Stephanie, Joe (Denise), Josie; a loving cousin to so many. She worked for Jewel Food Store for 19 years and was a proud member of UFCW local 881. Samantha was also a summer camp counselor at Portage Park and Hiawatha Park for many years. She graduated from Mather High School in 2003. Samantha had a passion for life. She loved her family and her many, many friends unconditionally, as they, in return, loved her. She brought a smile to the face of everyone she met. She loved to travel, and she especially loved children and animals. She was either surrounded by laughing children or wagging tails. Samantha's smile and good humor could brighten the gloomiest of days. She will be missed terribly. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Anti-Cruelty Society, in honor of Samantha Morabito, at http://anticruelty.org/ways-to-give/ or checks made payable to: The Anti-Cruelty Society In Honor of Samantha Morabito, 157 West Grand Avenue, Chicago, IL 60654.
