Samantha CORLETT-WOOD Obituary

We are so sorry to hear of Samantha's illness and recent passing. We will always remember that lovely smile. Our sincerest sympathy to all the family. from Gay & Bill

I was so lucky to spend my first week at Cruise Republic learning from Sam as she knew her job so well and she was so lovely and friendly. She was always happy to help you and share her knowledge. She was such a bubbly person and had such a great laugh! My heart goes out to all her family and friends and she will be greatly missed xx

Sam you weren't only a colleague but you were a treasured friend. Sam was the friendly face that trained me on my first day at Online Republic, it feels like only yesterday! I am so thankful to have shared such great memories with you and will forever hold them in my heart. I am going to miss seeing your big smile, and hearing your contagious giggle! I am thinking about you, Sean and your family today,

Sam was my first friend at Cruise Republic and helped me find my feet as a nervous 21 year old starting a new career in the cruise industry. Sam was always patient, reassuring and kind which is how I will always remember her. Sam's journey has reminded me to always make the most of life. Rest in peace Sam always in our hearts xxx

Little Sammy.
Finding it hard to believe we will not be seeing her smiling face walk through the door again. Have so many great memories in Auckland from getting our butts kicked at boot camp at 6.30am to sitting in puddles, and of course all her amazing Cruise knowledge.
Sam you will be missed by so many, such a beautiful person who was taken way too early but will never be forgotten.
My thoughts are with Sean and the family today and always xx
Lots a hugs Jo xx

I am very saddened to learn of the passing of Sam. I still remember when Sam came to China and we had lunch together.We exchanged gifts to each other at the time of Sam leaving for New Zealand. We kept in touch with each other by skype, email and WeChat. Sam was positive and talkative, we became friends soon. I tried to introduce China culture to Sam and Sam was very interested in this.
I can not believe that dearest Sam, such a beautiful person inside and out, had left us forever,up to now! We Chinese deem that people will go to another world after death. Sam must have been there, a happy and peaceful world. I will think about you, as well as your friends in China.
Rest in peace Sam.

The sudden passing of Sam was a great shock to me. I still remember the first time I met Sam. She was kind and loving. There was always a big smile on her face. Also I learned from her knowledge of the cruise industry. Sam helped me so much and what a blessing to have had Sam in my lives. Rest in peace Sam. Eileen (China office)
