Ellen Ellen (Smith) Sampson Obituary (1946

Elizabeth Ellen Smith Sampson 4 August 1946 Ogden, Utah 27 September 2015 Stockton, Utah Elizabeth Ellen Smith Sampson was the fifth child of Raymond and Elizabeth Smith’s nine children. When her older sister, Sally, moved out of the home, Ellen was the sole daughter in a home with six brothers. She was thrilled when her baby sister, Janine, was born despite their fifteen-year age difference. Ellen married Floyd Leroy Sampson in Chula Vista on March 7, 1970 and was later sealed to him in the St. George Temple in 1972. She said of her true love, Leroy, that she never felt happier than the day she married him. Leroy worked at a mine in Eagle Mountain, California as they began raising their family. Shortly after their fourth child was born they moved to Mesa, AZ where Ellen was a homemaker. In 1989 they moved their family to Portland, OR where Ellen and Leroy stayed until 2007. They have lived in Stockton, UT since 2007. All loved Ellen. She was always willing to serve whether it was to bring a meal or sew up a dress. She showed her great love for her Heavenly Father through her joy of teaching His Gospel. Ellen was able to combine her love of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and her love of service in serving a mission with her husband at the Salt Lake City Conference Center as a tour guide. Ellen’s greatest joys in life were her four children and 11 grandchildren. She spent countless hours sewing for all of them. Most remarkable is that she made each of her daughters’ and daughter-in-laws’ wedding dresses. Her children feel honored to call her mother and her grandchildren know they were blessed with the greatest “Little Grandma” ever. We love her. We are who we are because of her devotion and faith. Ellen is survived by: her husband: Leroy, her four children: David Sampson (Tiffany), Kevin Sampson (Jennifer), Kristi Rosengreen (Carl), Katie Steed (Marc) and eleven grandchildren: Raelynn, Sydney, Austin, Jaemynn, Kylie, Hailey, Melia, Braden, Lucy, David and Vivian.
