She graduated from high school in 1932 and attended Junior College for two years in Bakersfield, CA.

They had three children: June (Brechbiel) of Tucson, AZ, Jerry of Tonasket, Washington and Janet (Berkebile) deceased. They had seven grandchildren and ten great-granchildren and one deceased infant great-grandchild.

Eunice and Marlin moved to independent livi9ng on Willow Way in 1994 and upon his death in 2006, she moved into the manor.
Church has always been the center of her life. She served as Stephen Minister, was active in the Koinonia Class, Mother's Study Group, prayer groups, singing in the choir, teaching Sunday School, Bible School, etc.
Her creativity amazed her family as she could take scraps and make something wonderful from them. She enjoyed making little boxes from greeting cards, corn husk dolls, needlework, crochet and writing poetry, jus to name a few.
Eunice touched many lives through her family, friends and Christian faith during her 98-1/2 years. She will be missed by all who had the joy of knowing her. Eunice died January 23, 2013.
