Watch replay: Chapel service for Detroit synagogue president Samantha Woll
Chapel service for Samantha "Sam" Woll will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday at Hebrew Memorial Chapel in Oak Park.
Woll, 40, a politically connected Detroit synagogue president was found stabbed to death Saturday morning outside her home in the city’s Lafayette Park neighborhood, east of downtown.
Woll led the Isaac Agree Downtown Detroit Synagogue and previously worked for U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Holly, and on the reelection campaign of Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat.
According to her obituary, Woll was the daughter of Drs. Margo and Douglas Woll, sister to Drs. Monica Woll Rosen and brother-in-law Ben, and aunt to Solomon, Gabriel (Gavi), and Mira.
"To her friends, she was “Sam”: the greatest friend anyone could ever hope to have in life because she was unfailing in her commitment to living in the moment and always saw the good in everyone she met," her obituary says. "She had unbridled joy and an infectious laugh. She had the most incredible compassion. Most importantly, she lived to love and loved to live."
Interment will be Machpelah Cemetery in Ferndale.
