She was a golden member of the Wheeling Eagles, AARP, Wheeling Moose Club, and a beloved competitor at the local Bunco Club. She participated in Relay for Life at Wheeling Park, alongside her family and friends, for many years after surviving colon cancer in 2003 and breast cancer in 2007.

She had a passion for crocheting afghans and towels, especially for those close to her heart, and found great joy in traveling. She enjoyed her frequent walks at Oglebay Park, and loved her family more than anything.

Eunice was a Methodist by faith and lived a life of service. She was a waitress at the Wilson Lodge, kitchen support at West Liberty State College for 6 years, and a sitter for people who needed extra care and attention.
