Azzie Lee Sampson

July 23rd, 1922 ~ December 23rd, 2015

O n Wednesday, December 23, 2015, Azzie Lee Sampson was quietly called home to be with the LORD at the tender age of 93. She was a faithful servant of GOD. A loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend to many who knew her or whose path she crossed. She was born July 23, 1922 in Clinton, North Carolina to the late Robert and Maggie Royal. She was the last surviving sibling of 10.

Azzie Lee married Charlie Sampson, Sr. and from this union was blessed with one loyal daughter and two loving sons. At an early age, Azzie Lee was baptized and accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior. She was a member of Ebenezer Baptist Church of Englewood for over 50 years. She attended Bible Study regularly and served faithfully on the Choir, Coalition, Beautifying and Flower Clubs until her health declined.

She enjoyed cooking! The smell of her specialty "Sunday Dinner" filled the air starting Saturday. A fashionable woman who had a large selection of "Sunday Hats." She was an avid fan of game shows and it was known not to disturb her while watching "The Young and the Restless." She lived a full life and although quiet, loved to laugh. Azzie led by example, was always forgiving, and never judgmental.   Never one to complain about illness or infirmity, even until the day GOD wrapped His arms around her and called her home. When asked how she felt she would always say, "I feel pretty good."

Left behind to cherish her memory; (1) daughter Dorothy; (2) sons Charlie (Angela) and Robert Lee (Evelyn); (4) grandchildren, Derrick, Nicole (Paul), Demitrius and Charlé; she was also blessed with (3) step grandchildren, Kariem, Portia and Jeremy and their children; and was the proud great grandmother of (4) RiJ'hay, Justin, Chayse and Camille; (4) sister in laws, Emma, Mattie Lee, Dorothy and Mary; (1) brother in law, Herbert; a special niece Jean and other nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and her Ebenezer Baptist Church Family.
