ROY – Sarah Elizabeth Simpson Eames age 92, returned to her Heavenly home peacefully on March 29, 2012.

In 1942 she married Darward Dale "Bill" Eames in the Salt Lake Temple. Together they raised nine children in a home filled with love and respect. She made birthdays and holidays so special. Each night she prepared a delicious home cooked meal that the family enjoyed together. Her talents were many and she taught her daughters to embroider, quilt, crochet, sew, cook, wash and clean.
She loved to sing and happily sang as she worked around the house and made home a loving place to be. She would often say "A woman sets the tone of the home". She had high moral values which she instilled in her children. She truly was an extraordinary mother and homemaker.
She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and filled many callings including, Primary teacher, Relief Society teacher, ward Relief Society counselor and president and counselor in a stake Relief Society presidency.
