Adele (Ardella) Eames

Loving wife and mother, caring grandmother, family matriarch and trusted friend. These noble traits have been willingly filled by our much loved Adele (Ardella) Eames who left this earthly home on September 12, 2009 to join loved ones who have gone before her.
We know this is an especially joyous reunion for a daughter and a mother who were separated during the great flu epidemic of 1918 when Ardella was just five years old. Ardella was born November 9, 1913, the third of four children born to Alfred and Matilda Bruder Gnehm.After her mother's death, her father remarried Margaret Fink and together they had five more children.
She attended the Whittier Elementary School and graduated from Logan High School.
Ardella married Alton P. Eames on September 13, 1932. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan LDS Temple. They shared 63 years together before he died in 1996.
Their two sons and their spouses are Douglas and (Edna) Eames, Kenneth and (Carol) Eames and Dixie Eames (deceased). She has four adored grandchildren, Jeffrey and (Monica) Eames, (Shane) and Tamra Munk, Anthony Eames and Tom and (Karla) Eames. She also has ten great grandchildren and five great-great grandchildren.
Ardella always loved people and had the ability to quickly make friends with her outgoing personality, ready smile and quick wit.
She was an excellent cook and homemaker with a strong work ethic. She grew beautiful flowers and loved traveling with family even in her nineties. She especially loved the ocean and made several trips to San Diego.
She was a talented seamstress, sewing for family and then working at the Logan Knitting Mills, sewing designer clothing. She also worked at the U.S.U. Science Department Laboratory.
To her family she has been a treasured example of grace, kindness, wonderful humor, fun and never-ending love. Always a cheerleader she was there to encourage and support, no matter what the circumstances.
She was a life-long member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in several callings.
Her joyful devotion to family will continue to be a tremendous influence on the lives of her posterity.
We will cherish the many memories she has given us and honor her for the loving example she has been to us.
She has lived at Williamsburg Retirement Inn for the last six years, making close friendships and enjoying the many activities until her health declined. We thank the Williamsburg Staff and Access Home Care, especially Kathy Hall and Gay Hyde for their tender, loving devotion these last few weeks.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, September 15, 2009 at the Allen-Hall Mortuary Chapel, 34 East Center. There will be a viewing at the mortuary on Monday evening from 6-8 p.m. and on Tuesday prior to the services from 9:30-10:30 a.m. Interment will be in the Logan City Cemetery.
