Samantha Elizabeth Spicer

Samantha Elizabeth Spicer, 24, of Vermilion, passed away Sunday, November 8, 2026, as the result of a tragic automobile accident.

She was born March 14, 2002, in Cleveland, Ohio, and was a lifelong resident of Vermilion.

Samantha was a 2020 graduate of Vermilion High School and continued her education at Ohio Northern University, where she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Forensic Science in 2024. She went on to pursue a career as a Specimen Processor at Labcorp Broadview Heights, Ohio for the past year.

Samantha had a deep love of music and enjoyed attending concerts, especially when sharing those experiences with her best friend since kindergarten, Josylynn Geren, who also tragically lost her life in the accident. The memories they made together were special to Samantha, as was her collection of hoodies from the many concerts she attended. At home, she found joy in the companionship of her beloved cat, Smokey, and her dog, Ruby.

Samantha will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her mother, Jennifer (Jeff Prince) Spicer of Vermilion; her father, Edward (Anna J.) Spicer of Edmonton, KY; her sister, Ashley Ann Spicer of Vermilion; aunts and uncles, Renee (Dan) Spicer, Michael (Melanie) Carr, and Patti (Kenneth) Keisman; and many cousins.

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Samuel and Barbara Carr; paternal grandparents, Robert Sr. and Carol Ann Spicer; aunt, Cindy Spicer; and uncle, Robert Spicer.
