Eunice was a graduate with high honors from Valparaiso University with a degree in Foreign Language. She was a teacher at Joliet Township High School and Joliet Junior College for 30 years before retiring. She was the Foreign Language Department Head for 28 years. Eunice was a life-long member of St. Peter's Lutheran Church. She was a member of the Ladies Aid, the Mission Society, served as a Sunday School Teacher and spear-headed all church activities.
Eunice's faith was very important to her and St. Peter's Lutheran Church was her life.
Eunice's unique gift was her ability to genuinely engage anyone in conversation and make them feel important. She was an avid reader of newspapers, puzzles and scholarly journals. She enjoyed travel both in the United States and overseas, especially loved her trips to Mexico.
Eunice will be dearly missed by all those lives, she has touched.
