Sammi Jean Boudrey, surrounded by her loved ones, peacefully went home to Jesus on December 15, 2025.
Sammi was born on November 15, 1965, in Fayetteville, to Bill and Betty Boudrey. Though she enjoyed living in different places throughout her life, Fayetteville was always home to her heart. She graduated from high school in 1984 and carried with her a lifelong love of community, family, and faith.
Sammi was a devoted member of Center Street Church of Christ, where her church family meant so much to her. She was a passionate sports fan, especially of the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Pittsburgh Steelers, and loved attending basketball and baseball games. Having played nearly every sport growing up, competition and teamwork were part of who she was. Sammi also found joy in cooking, traveling to the Bahamas, and spending time with those she loved most.
Family was everything to Sammi. She fiercely loved her family, including her cherished Colorado family, and believed deeply that friends were family too. She was especially devoted to her nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews, whom she loved dearly.
She is survived by her mother, Betty Boudrey; her sisters, Pam Boudrey and Tammy Jacobson; her nieces and nephews, Jill Norris, Michael and Courtney Koen, Nathan and Nikki Stachey, and Zach and Colleen Stachey; and ten beloved great-nieces and great-nephews.
She was preceded in death by her father, Bill Boudrey, and her niece, Jamie Norris.
Now that Sammi has passed into the arms of our Lord, her physical life on earth has ended—but it is also the beginning of a beautiful and eternal journey. Her faith, love, and joy will live on in all who knew her.
The family will receive friends from 5-6:30 PM Wednesday, December 17, 2025 at Beard’s Funeral Chapel.
Funeral services will be 10:00 AM Thursday, December 18, 2025 at Center Street Church of Christ with Randall Caselman officiating. Interment will follow in Groseclos Cemetery in Madison County.
My dear friend, I love you and will miss you fiercely! I cherish all our wild times in our youth that we laughed about endlessly for years, and I carry the wonderful memories in my heart of our many Bahamas vacations with your family. You all made me feel so loved and special. Until we meet again, sweet Sammi!
Our time together will forever be remembered and you will be missed. Your huge heart and loving kindness along with your love for the game is just a part of your legacy. You made us better and touched all of whom that was blessed to be in your company. From your South Carolina family we send our condolences. You will be remembered and never forgotten. We love you. # WOOPIGSOOIE

Remember Sammi well – we spent many great summers together playing softball for her Mom and Dad-FFD team. Great family and prayers to all.
My girl, you pulled me up many many times .
You were crazy – loyal- loving – an extrovert – many more adjectives I could use to describe
You . You were my oldest friend . I adored you – you could be difficult but would give anyone in need the shirt off your back . I Love you and will miss you terribly . What will I do without you Sam ? Love you so much . Susie your crazy hermit friend – I told you heaven would have “ the best tacos“
Such a bright light in this world and she brought laughter and joy to all who were blessed to have her in their lives.
My heart aches for her precious Mom and beautiful sisters who will hold her in their hearts forever. Their circle of love for each other can never be broken.
Rest in peace sweet Sammi Jean

So very sorry for your loss. Sammi was my bold southern friend when I lived in Fayetteville with her and Susie. She taught me all the things I needed to know to live in the south properly, like “put on your shoes, it’s coming a storm!” I will miss her lively banter over football and the Packer’s games as she would keep up on them and text me when she had a comment or two. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.
Sending all our love, hugs and prayers for peace and comfort during this very difficult time.
Sweet Sammi… you were one of a kind and always the life of the party. The way you treated me and my kids like family will always be cherished. I hope you’re calling the hogs from heaven. All Hogs go to heaven. Love you forever and always ❤️ Don’t worry I’ll make sure Jill and Jaycee are always good
Love, Mohney
May the Lord put His arms around the entire family and give you strength and peace through this time of grief.
Pam, I’m so sorry for your loss.
Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
It comforts my heart knowing you’re my sister in Christ! Praying for the family during this difficult time! God is able and still on the Throne!!!!!❤️
Betty I’m so terrible sorry for the loss of Sammie. She had a smile on her face when I’d see her. I loved her voice. I always thought she looked like Bill. Bet they’re telling stories with their reunion. Always cherish those memories and good times together. Karen Adams
