Lucy Knight was born January 16, 1863, in Plain City, Utah, the fifth of eleven children born to Alonzo Knight and Catherine Meguire.

She married Robert Eames on March 29, 1880, and they were blessed with twelve children: Emma Elizabeth, Alonzo, Robert, Lucy, Alice, Ruby, William, Marion, George, Viola, Mary and Opal. Daughter Elizabeth writes, "Of all the fine traits of character Mother possessed, unselfishness would be the outstanding virtue. She was always ready to sacrifice, to work and give and serve for the gospel and her fellow man. She was a woman of great faith, courage and understanding."

After Robert's death in 1937, Lucy moved to Salt Lake City where she spent the remaining 11 years of her life working in the temple. She died December 7, 1948, at the age of 85 years 10 months and 21 days.
