Samantha Breneisen age 54 of Ellijay GA passed away surrounded by her family on Tuesday, August 20th, 2024.

Samantha Breneisen was raised in Cornwall, England until she fell in love with Matthew Breneisen when she was 23 years old and started her new life. That new life eventually landed her here in the Blue Ridge mountains, where she loved to listen and watch the many birds that populate these mountains. Along the way she raised her two children, Nathan and Emma, with a loving hand. She was generous almost to a fault and everyone that knew her was better for it, but her real soft spot was for animals, of all kinds. She had a laugh that made everyone else laugh, she was ethereal. Many of those laughs came from jokes she would make that emulated her family's dark sense of humor; she was always brightening up the room. Her love of horses, which she rode her whole life, was passed on to her daughter who will carry her love for horses forever and always. Samantha was an artist, cross-stitching, painting and drawing were the ways she communicated her passions for nature, animals and love, she passed this talent down to her son, who will continue to create with her in mind. Samantha stayed connected to her English heritage through becoming best friends with her mum, Ann Pateman, they spent hours chatting about and watching silly British shows, their favorite past time. Samantha Breneisen, everyone's favorite person in the world, is forever loved and missed.

Survivors include Husband, Matthew E. Breneisen, Son, Nathan George Breneisen, daughter, Emma Louise Breneisen, Mum, Ann Pateman, Brother, Paul Pateman, England, Sisters in law, Kim Breneisen Wentzville MO, Amy Pealer (Craig) Mechanicsburg PA, Clare Woodman Maine, brother in law, Eddie Breneisen (Pam) PA, several nieces and nephews also survive.
