Samuel Edward Stubbs' Obituary
Samuel E. Stubbs, aka Daddy Sam, Sammy Boy, and Handsome Prince to his Girls, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, September 1st., 2024, at his home In Greenwood , Delaware.
He was 77 years "young."
He was born at St. Agnes Hospital of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on January 12th, 1947, the son of Samuel Meredith Stubbs and Carmela Iannaconi Stubbs. Sam, Lucy, Michael and his grandparents, Alfredo and Rosina(Torino)Rotoloni resided altogether in the St. Frances DeSales Parish in West Philadelphia.
He was a beloved and dedicated teacher and administrator throughout Cape May County for 38 years beginning with Wildwood Catholic as a history teacher and moving into administration at Wildwood High, Margaret Mace,
Sandman Elementary and Memorial of Lower Township. He worked also as an adjunct professor for a time at Atlantic Community College.
He was predeceased by his first wife, Sharon A. (Ridewood), Mommy Shari, in 1990 and his younger brother, Michael J., in 1992. He is survived by his wife, Michelle Rene' Clark-Stubbs, his daughters, Meridith A. Stubbs, Ashley L. Stubbs, and Mckenna Lin Stubbs,
and sister Lucille(Chris, Andrew Magnus), and many dear cousins, nieces and nephews. Also, by his loyal fur babies--Shelby, his rescued "greythound," and SLK, his feline buddy.
Sam was a devoted husband and father. He cherished moments around the table with his family. The "Bers", as he liked to call them, were his favorite months as he loved the holidays... the Lionel trains came out and the garland stringed lights were placed just in the right places by his hand. Home and hearth, country and faith were paramount to him. He loved Jesus. Sam's quiet, deep devotion guided and directed every aspect of his life; making him very impactful to family, friends, co-workers and students.
Sam could warm up any room in an instant and make everyone around him feel like the most important person in the world. He will never be forgotten and will have eternal life in heaven! Excelsior! John 3:16. FA77.
We can honor him the best by listening to the oldies and keeping life simple, KISS.
