Samantha Anna Mascaro

"On October 12, 2020, she heard God's call.  Samantha was 40 years old, born on June 27, 1980 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  She attended St. Aloysius Catholic School and was a graduate of St. Joseph Academy.  Samantha attended three years of college at Louisiana State University.  Samantha is the beloved daughter of the late Gary Joseph Mascaro and Donna Dufresne Mascaro and sister of Joshua Mathew Mascaro and Justin Shane Mascaro.  She was a single mom of her beautiful daughter, Gillian Elise Mascaro, who she loved dearly. An aunt of Taylor Mathew Mascaro and Peyton Joseph Mascaro.  Her kind spirit and enormous heart and love for all animals will remind each of us to be loving and caring to one another.  She rescued many animals even though she was struggling on her own.  She loved her dog, Bruno, and all the other animals she saved.  Samantha (Sam) loved the beach, poetry, art, crafts, Mardi Gras, and Halloween.  Samantha was a bartender with a flare who loved people and always put others first before her own needs.  God gave us such a short time with you here on earth, but I know your love and spirit will always be here and with everyone she touched.  We yearn for your voice, laughter, touch, and hugs, which you gave so freely.  Samantha, we miss you and love you forever - to the moon and back.
