In Loving Memory of
Sharon Marie Kostick Eames
Sharon Marie Eames, 73, was called home to be with the Lord on May 11, 2015.  Sharon was born in Chehalis, Washington on April 9, 1942 to Ralph and Hazel Kostick.  She had three sisters and two brothers, Diane Gaudette, Barbara Anderson, Kathy Wright, Denny Kostick and Larry Kostick.  
Sharon lived most of her life in the Chehalis/Centralia area.  She was a successful business owner, operator of multiple local restaurants with her best friend and husband John Eames “Chef John” for over 45 years.  These restaurants include The Salkum Drive-Inn Restaurant, Chef John’s Steak House, The Lewis and Clark Hotel, The St. Helens Inn and Gramma’s Kitchen.  
Sharon’s passions included studying the Word of God, searching for truth, teaching her children and grandchildren the importance of freedom and liberty.  She was proud to be an American and felt blessed to be born in the United States.  She loved reading books and watching Survivor with her grandkids.  Sharon will always be known as a wise, strong, honest, hard-working woman who taught not to be judgmental, forgiving and to live by the golden rule.
