Sammi Jo Cronin (Niles)
Sammi Jo Cronin (Niles), 38, of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a family who loved her deeply and memories that will forever hold a special place in their hearts.
Known affectionately as “Aunty Bob,” Sammi was a one-of-a-kind soul who could make people laugh, stand her ground, and love fiercely all at the same time. She was funny, stubborn, caring, adventurous, and fiercely protective of the people she loved. She had a personality all her own, and those who knew her will remember her humor, her strength, and the unmistakable way she made her presence known.
Sammi shared 19 years of marriage with her loving husband, Ryan Cronin. Together, they built a life and a family that will forever be part of her legacy.
Sammi loved the outdoors and found happiness in camping, gathering around bonfires, and spending time by the ocean in Florida. Whether enjoying the warmth of a campfire or taking in the beauty of the ocean, she cherished the experiences that made life memorable. She also had a special love for animals, especially flamingos, reflecting the unique personality and spirit that made her who she was.
Above all, Sammi was a wife, mother, sister, and aunt. She leaves behind her husband, Ryan Cronin, and her two sons, Damien Cronin and Carter Cronin, who will forever carry her love with them.
She is also survived by her sister, Stevie Jo Niles; brother-in-law, Michael Chapman; niece, Leila Chapman; nephew, Oliver Chapman; and her many other nieces and nephews, who will carry their own special memories of their beloved Aunty Bob.
Though Sammi’s passing was unexpected, the love she gave, the laughter she shared, and the memories she created will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. She leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and a spirit that could never be mistaken for anyone else’s. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by the people whose lives she touched.
A celebration of Sammi’s life will be held at a later date. Details will be shared once arrangements have been finalized.
Forever loved, forever our Aunty Bob, and never forgotten.
