Samantha Hickey Memorial

No amount of money can replace the loss of your wife and mother, although I would like to help fund sending this family on a vacation in honor of their mother, when. It is safe to do so.

Samantha Hickey, 45, worked for the St. Luke's Children's team in Canyon County for 15 years.

"Samantha’s death is a heartbreaking consequence of the seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic," a spokesperson for the hospital said.

Her death was announced July 13. There were no underlying conditions the hospital, nor her husband, was aware of.

"As a life-long learner and community-minded caregiver, Samantha’s husband and four children say she wanted to make a difference," the spokesperson said. "They believe she would want her death not to be in vain, but to serve as a stark reminder that people must do whatever they can to protect themselves and others and take this pandemic seriously."
St. Luke's said she provided dedicated and compassionate care to the children in the community.

"She spent her clinical days caring for patients, training the next generation of nurse practitioners, and advocating for the wellbeing of her community," the spokesperson said. "Our organization is hurting along with her family and loved ones."
