Sandra E Clawson

Sandra Eyring Clawson, born March 21, 1942 to Wendell and Verda Eyring, passed away on December 7, 2024, after living a full life of love for her family and service to her church. She married Kit Clawson on January 28, 1965, in the Mesa, Arizona LDS temple. 

Sandra is survived by her husband, Kit, and her seven daughters and one son – Alison, Marcy, Glen, Rebecca, Kayce, Carol, Lillian, and Nan. She loved and cared for them all and showed her love through her actions and unwavering belief in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She is also survived by her brothers, Wendell, Murr, and Nick and her sisters, April and Twila. She is preceded in death by both of her parents and her siblings, Shirly, Patricia, Dixie, and Mike. Sandra is a proud grandmother of 23 grandchildren, with her first great-grandchild expected May 2025.

Education, music, and continuous learning were important to Sandra along with her deeply held belief in the gospel. She was the first in her family to attend college and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Teacher Education and Master’s degree in Special Education from Brigham Young University in Provo. She enjoyed genealogy and learning the practice of genealogy research to better know her ancestors and enjoyed talking with family about her work. She was an accomplished pianist and had a deep love for music. She made sure that each of her children learned at least one musical instrument and spent countless hours taking them to practices and recitals.

Sandra followed Kit on his many adventures by camping and traveling in the family station wagon filled to the brim with kids and camping gear. They camped for weeks at a time on a beach in Mexico creating priceless memories for the family. Later she and Kit lived in Costa Rica for a number of years along with her four youngest children and served in the Chile Santiago North LDS mission living on Rapa Nui (aka Easter Island).

Funeral services will be held Wednesday, December 18, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. at Wheeler Mortuary in Springville, Utah, located at 211 East 200 South, Springville, Utah.

Following the funeral, burial will be in the East Lawn cemetery located at 4800 North 650 East, Provo, Utah. In lieu of flowers, Sandra would encourage you to donate your funds to and spend time with family.
