Samuel Eadie

Sam Eadie passed away peacefully on February 26, 2025, in Raymore, Missouri, at the age of 94. He was surrounded by loved ones who will miss him dearly. Sam's legacy of faith, love, and dedication will continue to inspire all who knew him. Sam was born on June 10, 1930, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to Harry and Barbara Eadie. He was the fifth of seven sons. In 1940, at the age of 10, he and his brother John were evacuated to Limavady, Ireland, due to air raids during World War II. This experience transformed his childhood from city life to farm life, where Sam became a farm hand and developed a love for fishing, horseback riding, and reading. Reunited with his family in 1945, Sam accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He worked as a milk delivery hand and was steadfast in his Christian faith. Sam met and fell in love with Dorothy Sharpe, and they married on September 17, 1952. The couple emigrated to Nova Scotia, Canada, and later moved to Maine, Chicago, and Omaha, Nebraska, where Sam worked in various jobs and raised their five children: Abigail, Gaius, Dorcas, Lemuel, and Rachel. Deeply rooted in his faith, Sam served at the Omaha Gospel Hall and played a pivotal role in establishing the Gospel Hall in Sioux City, IA. He also supported the assemblies in Coal Creek and Kansas City. Known for their unwavering hospitality, Sam and Dorothy often opened their home to preachers and families. After retiring in 1993, Sam continued to devote his life to his faith and family. Following Dorothy's passing in 2006, he found love again and married Virginia in 2007. Together, they traveled extensively and cherished the companionship of their rescue dog, Scottie. In 2016, they moved to Raymore, Missouri, to be closer to Virginia's family. As Sam's health declined, he remained steadfast in his faith until he was called home to his Lord and Savior on February 26, 2025. He will be remembered for his devotion to the Lord, his love for his family, his storytelling, and his great sense of humor. Sam is survived by his wife Virginia Eadie; her two sons, Daniel (Gayle) Stewart and David (Jennifer) Stewart; his children Abigail Kerr, G. Paul (Mary) Eadie, Dorcas (Mark) Van Der Hart, Lemuel (Joni) Eadie, and Rachel Eadie; along with 24 grandchildren, 38 great-grandchildren, and his beloved dog Scottie.
