Chin "Lee" Sook Sampson, age 93 of Beavercreek, OH passed away on Thursday, June 10, 2021 at Miami Valley Hospital. She was born February 8, 1928 in Yangpyung, South Korea to Il Soung and Kan Nan (Yun) Yi. She married Marion Sampson, TSgt Retired, on August 12, 1959 in Seoul, South Korea.

In the early hours of the morning, the fiercest (and tiniest) 93 year old we knew went home to her Jehovah. Unwavering in her faith, unyielding in her work, and undistinguishing in her love-she never once made anyone feel any less than family. She leaves behind a legacy and heritage to be proud of, and a determined commitment to independence that we can only hope to achieve. Chin is the Matriarch and the backbone of the family and always will be. She will be forever loved and greatly missed.

Chin is survived by her five daughters, Margaret (Steve) Barlage, Nancy (Ronnie) Lowe, Marian Drees, Mary (Michael) Sparks and Carla Sue Sampson; twelve grandchildren, Jamie (Cesar Cammon) Sampson, Donna (Chris) Genelin, Jessica (Lance) Frasier, Gina (Jimi) Turlington, Bryan Barlage, Jana (Ben) Gibson, Joe Barlage, Danielle (Ricky) DeBorde, Lindsey (Garth) McLean, Billy Drees, Kaylei Lowe and Michael Drees; eighteen great grandchildren, Danielle, Destiny, Trinity, Ayriana, Autumn, Bryson, Jackson, Myla, Reagan, Gavin, Emma, Hank, Corbin, Ellie, Noah, Gus, Bennett and Maverick; a sister, Yong Suk Park; two brothers, Tok San (Doug) Yi and In San Yi; and other numerous family and friends. She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 47 years, Marion; a sister, Hun Sook Park; a brother, Hak San (James) Lee.
