Sandra “Sandy” N. Seamons, age 79, returned home to her Heavenly Father on August 22, 2014 in Ogden, Utah, following several years of ill health.

Sandy was born on May 31, 1935, in Smithfield, Utah, to Royce J. and Mary Afton Gittins Seamons.  She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  The family moved to Ogden in 1941 where Sandy graduated from Ogden High School as an Honor Student and then from Weber State College.  She also attended the University of Arizona.  Her major fields of study were History and Art.  Sandy moved to Tucson, AZ, in 1961 where she lived for 40 years and worked in the banking industry.

She loved her art, poetry, music, flower gardens, and her pets.  She earned national and international recognition as a song composer with her most successful composition being “Walk Through This World With Me”.  This song was rated Number One in 1967 by “Billboard Music” and “Record World”, two international music publications and it was also the Number Two Country Western Song in the U.S. for 1967.  She was a member of the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and of Broadcast Music, Inc.  She and a co-writer had about 100 songs published.  She also had artwork and poetry published.  Sandy lived in Nashville, TN, for a brief time.  She returned to Utah in June 2002 to be near the people and mountains she so dearly loved.

Sandy is survived by six nieces and nephews and a sister-in-law.  She was preceded in death by her brother, Gary R. Seamons, and her parents.

Special thanks is extended to the staff at the Gardens Assisted Living Center in Ogden and to those friends who have cared and assisted.
