Pearl Pace Eagar, 96, died May 21, 2008, in Logan, Utah. She was born July 23, 1911 [07/11/11 per Birth Certificate], in Thatcher.
She was the daughter of Lemuel Redd Pace, who died in the influenza epidemic of 1919, and Mary Isabell Layton Pace, who gave birth to their fourth child, Lemuel, just five days after her husband's death.
Pearl was raised in Thatcher where she and her siblings had the love and support of both sets of grandparents. In a life spanning nearly a century, Pearl enjoyed telling stories of riding horseback to school behind her older brother Ivan and stabling the horse at Grandpa Pace's during the day, since it was just across the street from the elementary school.
After successful completion of high school in Thatcher, Pearl enrolled at Gila College in Safford. She earned her bachelor's degree in home economics at the University of Arizona and taught at the high school level for several years before marrying Walter Argent Eagar of Eagar July 3, 1940. Walt died in 1986, leaving Pearl to reside in Payson.
In 1951, the couple with their three children left Phoenix to move to Twin Falls, Idaho, where Walt co-owned a concrete pipe manufacturing and concrete ditch-lining business. After their youngest child graduated from high school, the Eagars returned to Arizona, settling in Payson in the early '70s.
Pearl was very active in the League of Women Voters, March of Dimes and other community action groups and volunteered service in various local, state and national posts. A lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Pearl figured she served in every position in the church's Primary and Relief Society programs, many posts more than once, particularly that of president of the Relief Society in various wards.
She was known and loved by her neighbors for the homemade foods she generously shared. She always kept an ear open for news of illness or difficulty among her friends and neighbors and could be counted on to provide food or other service to ease their troubles. She also was famous for filling every bare spot in her yard with a profusion of flowers and edibles.
Surviving Pearl are three children, Norman Pace (Ann) Eagar of Napoleon, Mo.; Donna Eagar (John) Wylie of Leander, Texas, and Linda Eagar (John) Keith of North Logan, Utah; six grandchildren and their spouses; nine great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews; brother and sister-in-law, Lemuel Redd (Mary Jo Skousen) Pace of Mesa.
Preceding Pearl in death were her parents, husband, brother Ivan and sister-in-law Christiane Luedert Pace, sister Allene and husband Les Cole.
Graveside services were held May 28 in Eagar.
