Early on, Eunice spent her time working at the IBP plant and then later enjoyed her time working in the lunchroom at the Dakota City Elementary school. Following retirement from the school, she spent her time with family and friends and being an active member of her community and local church. 

Eunice had a contagious smile and laugh and welcomed all who met her with open arms. She enjoyed good conversation, her large backyard garden, crosswords and puzzles, and spending time with her loved ones. Those who knew her knew her biggest love was playing cards. She spent many years playing with friends in her card club, at her local church and with her family. She loved to include her grandchildren in cards and spent many nights around her kitchen table laughing and playing her favorite “nickel game”.

Eunice moved to Omaha, Nebraska in 2015. She enjoyed many activities with her neighbors and caregivers at Hillcrest Shadow Lake. Her family would like give special thanks to her caregivers for the exceptional care they provided. She was loved by many.
