Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come; your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

SAMARA EVERMAN

Samara Everman, 22, unexpectedly passed away on Thursday, July 13, 2023, in a tragic car accident in Los Angeles, California. Samara was a lifelong resident of Lawrenceville, NJ, and lucky enough to grow up with her mom, Tana Everman and living next door to her Uncle Dave, Aunt Michelle, Alex and Jessie Everman, and her beloved dog, Hunter. Also grieving her passing are her surviving family: Tana's husband, Michael Carlucci, her maternal grandparents, Helen and Phil Clark, her father, Ted Johnson, her paternal grandparents, Ted and Sandra Johnson, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Samara was such a bright light and is survived by many close friends. She was predeceased by her maternal grandfather, Don Everman, her grandparents, John & Robbie Vaccaro, her cousin, Cassie Vaccaro.

Samara graduated with honors from Lehigh University on May 22, 2023, with a bachelors of science in population health and two minors in religion and maternal and child health. She was looking forward to starting her master's program this fall and had secured a graduate assistant position and scholarship. Last summer, Samara was a Global Social Impact Fellow, traveling to Sierra Leone to distribute UTI kits to screen women in their homes and identify health risks early. Her team's work on this project will be published in the next few months. This summer, Samara was interviewing OB/GYN residents across the country to discuss the barriers to abortion care and related challenges for the women in abortion-banned and

restricted states. Sine the spring of 2021, Samara worked on a project interviewing women in focusing on maternal stress, resilience, and reproductive health outcomes living in South Bethlehem, PA. A manuscript sharing their findings has been submitted to the American Public Health Conference and will be presented with Samara as a co-author. While at Lehigh, Samara was also a member of the DGC Civil Society Youth Representatives Steering Committee, a United Nations Youth Representative, a member of the Lehigh University Student Scholar Institute, and a University Tour Guide. She also developed close friendships with an amazing group of friends.

Samara loved to travel and was diligent in saving to finance this passion. She travelled to Costa Rica, Italy, France, Amsterdam, a solo trip to Iceland, Sierra Leone, and to several US destinations. She especially loved the beauty of Maine and Cape Cod and creating memories with families and friends on those annual trips. Samara and her mom shared a special trek to Seattle, which included seeing Joni Mitchell in concert at the Gorge Amphitheater to commemorate her graduation. She was so looking forward to her time in California.

Samara also loved thrifting and creating fashionable outfits, crocheting and a daily nap. She was an amazing daughter, niece, granddaughter, cousin, and friend. Her adventurous and fearless approach to life allowed her to live her 22 years to the fullest.
