Karen Kay Eames Horne

Karen Kay (Eames) Horne returned home to her loving Heavenly Father on May 6th, 2022.  Karen was born August 3rd,1940, in American Falls, ID as the 7th of 12 children to Vern Edwin Eames, Sr. and Clothiel (Hansen) Eames. She grew up in American Falls, ID.

After high school, she married Robert Tyler of Rupert, ID and had 2 children, Rob and Scott Tyler, and later divorced. She then married Donald Steven (“Steve”) Benson of American Falls, ID and had 2 children, April and Chris Benson, and later divorced.

They say the 3rd time's a “charm”, and she married her soulmate Henry Arden Horne on December 12, 1987. They were sealed in the SLC LDS Temple December 12, 1992. Karen and Arden were truly inseparable, and it showed in how they lived.

Karen worked as a Heavy Equipment Operator for several years and was a member of the Teamsters Union. Once retired, Karen and her husband relocated to Redmond, UT where they enjoyed living in the country. They loved to travel in their 5th wheel with their dogs and enjoyed staying in AZ in the winter.  They also rode their side-by-side all over the mountains searching for arrowheads and other treasures.

Karen was a devoted wife and mother. She cherished her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was often described as spunky, a spit-fire, and a go-getter. She loved making people laugh and always had a story to tell. Karen will be greatly missed.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Henry Arden Horne; her parents, Vern Edwin Eames, Sr. and Clothiel (Hansen) Eames; her siblings, Shirley (Bill) Liese, Vern Jr. (Cleo) Eames, Joyce (Robert) Hall, Elizabeth Ann (ZL) Pearson, Jack (Jo Ann) Eames, Susan (Dick) Green, Charles Eames; and, daughter-in-law, Billye Ann Tyler.

She is survived by her siblings, Donna (Wes) Bush, Valerie (Barry) Williams, Mike (Gale) Eames, Robert (June) Eames; her children, Rob (Billye Ann) Tyler, Scott (Amber) Tyler, April (Tyler) Hunt, Chris (Keri) Benson; her stepchildren, Christopher (Patty) Horne, Brad Horne, and Amber (Paul) Loncar. All combined, Karen and her husband have 22 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.
