Trust in God with all your heart, And don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will direct your paths -Proverbs 3:5-6
Amber Brock, age 43, of Newport, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on August 31, 2025, at Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. Amber was born on September 22, 1981, in Ft. Thomas, to Anita Elkins and Jay Brock.
Amber was a loving mother, daughter, sister, niece, cousin and friend to many. Her spirit was full of kindness, forgiveness, and strength. She was beautiful inside and out, and her loving nature made her a beacon of light to all who knew her.
Amber attended high school at Simon Kenton High School and Newport High School, from which she graduated via Newport Alternative School. She also attended Daymar College in Bellevue, Kentucky.
Amber had a profound love for nature, music, fashion, and art. Her hobbies reflected her vibrant personality and the joy she found in life’s simple pleasures. However, her proudest accomplishments were her two sons, Donald Lee Sams III and Daxton Lee Sams. She poured love and care into raising them and cherished every moment spent with her family.
Amber is survived by her children, Donald Lee Sams III and Daxton Lee Sams, her parents Anita Elkins and Jay Brock, husband Donald Lee Sams II, siblings Shawn (Gigi) Elkins, Laura (Rich) Hunley, Rebecka (Donnie) Cavana, and mother-in-law Teresa M.
