LULING, La. — A 79-year-old grandmother, Abigail Sampey, was fatally struck by a car last week while walking near her home in Luling, Louisiana, leaving her family and community mourning her loss.
Sampey’s family described her as a pillar of the St. Charles Parish community, where she spent many years working in the school system.
“There wasn’t a day, no matter how mad or upset you were, that you went around that lady and you didn’t have a smile on your face,” Landon Sampey, Abigial's grandson, said.
Her daughter, Angelle Sampey, shared the pain of losing her mother in a Zoom call with WDSU.
“Several times a day I try to pick up my phone to text her or call her about something, and then I have to remind myself that I, I don’t, I can’t do that anymore,” she said.
The St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office reported that Sampey was hit from behind by 64-year-old Sandra Kinler of Luling while on an afternoon walk just steps away from her home.
“We lost my dad a year ago. We had just reached the one-year anniversary for him on Oct. 28, and my mom was just starting to turn the corner of being able to move past his loss,” Angelle said. “The day before her passing was the first day she decided to start walking.”
Sampey was airlifted to a hospital but later died from her injuries.

I think you’re confusing a female dragster with a drag queen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_queen
Oh boy! Whew! It was in Luling, LA. I am not a suspect yet. Was very worried because I thought it was Luling, TX near me.
As did I. We used to drive from Austin to Corpus on Friday nights. All I remember about Luling was smelling the gas down in the low spots between hills. Was that Luling?

A QUEEN IN DRAG RACING-—SAME WORDS-—DIFFERENT MEANINGS
SHE IS PRETTY TALENTED
my sister also got hit by a car on a walk but it did not make the news.
Luling has all the little painted oil wells. I drive by there frequently in route between Austin and Victoria.
I agree she is talented! I just had not heard that term used that way before.
He does an okay job looking female.
Drag queen: XX Biological female who fits three qualifications: (1) XX Biological Female, (2) Defeats Men, and (3) Wins the Wally.
I sense that we may need more clarity about the meaning of “drag queen” ...
Pedestrians take note: if she hadn’t been luling while she was walking she might still be around ...
“...legendary drag queen...”
I’m glad I’m not the only person who jumped to conclusions.
