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 p.m. Wednesday, December 17, 2025, at Beard’s Funeral Chapel.
Funeral services will be 10 a.m. Thursday, December 18, 2025, at Center Street Church of Christ with Randall Caselman officiating. Interment will follow in Groseclos Cemetery in Madison County.
