Sam H. Eatmon, 90, of Osceola, was well loved by his community and family. He passed away on Thursday, April 24, 2025. Sam was born in Wilson on April 16, 1935, to Alvis and Louise Eatmon.

Sam worked for Roller-Swift Funeral Home for 22 years and was honored as employee of the year in 2009. He retired from ABF after 21 years, where he was the Supervisor of Operations. Sam loved spending time with Luci Lu, telling his and Jenny's love story, new cars, especially those Cadillacs, keeping things in tip-top shape, and dressing to the nines.
Sam leaves to cherish his memory, his wife: Jenny Eatmon, daughter: Vicki Jo McArthur, son: David (Donna) Felder, brother: Paul (Pat) Eatmon, sister: Sanda Bricker, brother-in-law: Larry (Marsha) Robinson, a score of nieces and nephews, and his Roller Family and friends.

Sam is my savior. As a small child in the very early 1960’s, many people moved from Osceola to Chicago where there was work. My family and Sam included. We lived in the same apartment building in South Chicago. Sam was coming home from working the night shift and found me sleep walking. He picked me up and took me home to my unknowing parents.
I often wonder what would have happened to me had Sam not found me that night.
I love you Sam Eatmon. You were a kind and gentle soul and I will always love you.
Rest in peace and say hello to my mom and dad.
