Samantha Drew Keller, 24

January 7, 1996 - August 06, 2020

Samantha Drew Keller, of Lancaster Pa, passed away on Thursday, August 6, 2020 at the age of 24, after a long battle that she fought with grit to drug addiction. Born on January 7, 1996 during the blizzard of 96, at Saint Joseph Hospital in Lancaster Pa.

She was the daughter of Sara Keene, wife of James of York, and Tyler Harrington, husband of Jessica of Millersville. Samantha was the devoted mother of Kaylin Keller-Ortiz, daughter of Daniel Ortiz. She was the loving sister of Willow Keller, Hector Soto, Alex Soto, Luke Harrington, and Abigail Harrington; and stepsister to Ciara Gentry. Samantha will be sorely missed by her grandparents Greg and Linda Keller, Arthur and Janis Harrington, Deb and Ray Shapiro, and Larry Neiswender.

Above all else Samantha enjoyed time spent with her daughter Kaylin. She enjoyed time spent in nature, and time spent with family and friends. She liked to listen to music and was an avid reader and writer.

There will be a celebration of life service at the convenience of Sami’s family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a fund for Sami’s daughter, Kaylin Keller Ortiz, at any Members 1st Bank location.

If you’re reading this, and you are fighting addiction, please use Sami’s death as motivation to your new life free from addiction.
