EAMES, LaVon

Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ - Posted: Wednesday, January 7, 2015 - LaVon Eames, 78, passed away Jan. 4, 2015. She was born as Lavon Law, July 14, 1936 in Meridian, Idaho to Milford and Edith Law. After high school, she went on a two-year mission. She worked for many industries during her lifetime, including logging, saw mill and was a restaurant owner. She had many fascinating stories to tell and kept in touch with friends old and new through social networking. On Aug. 27, 1959, she wed Albert Eames. They moved from Texas to Lake Havasu City in the early 1990’s. Here, she worked for Havasu Regional Medical Center on the administrative side where she formed many lifelong friendships. She was a member of the LDS Church. She was one of the infamous “Four Tumblers,” a nickname the group of friends were given because they had all fallen in a short period of time. LaVon is survived by her daughter, Valerie Eames (Raul Guillen Jr.) of Burbank, Calif.; brother, Earl Law of Weiser, Idaho; sisters, Carol Earl of Tremonton, Utah, Thelma Stoddard of Victor, Mont., Marie Christensen of Corvallis, Mont., and Gwen Grover of Logan, Utah. She also leaves behind two grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Steven in 1997 and her husband Albert in 2005. A visitation will take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday at Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home. On Saturday, a service will be at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with a brief visitation and family prayer at 10 a.m. She will be laid to rest beside her late husband at the VA Cemetery in Boulder, Nev. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to a charity of your choice in LaVon’s name. Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home & Crematory.
