The Samson’s moved to the pioneer town of Tumbler Ridge BC after brief stays in NL and the sunny Okanagan. In 1994 the first of the grandchildren arrived; Dannion, Jordan, Presley, Scott, Tara and Seth. Bessie was very proud of her children and grandchildren; she shared a great love with her husband Charlie. She did not want nor expect a lot from life. If her friends and family were happy, she was happy. She loved everyone and showed them everyday how much they meant to her. All of her life she put herself last and with her love and her time she was a symbol of all that was caring and good. Bessie was known for her spirit and laughter and eagerly shared her smile. That smile would brighten any day! She was fiercely loved in return and will be greatly missed by all.
