Eunice grew up in and attended school in Jay, Oklahoma. She worked in various roles throughout her life, including the Dollar General in Inola. She also served as church secretary in Chelsea and as a repair technician at Lowrance Electronics, where she worked on fish locator devices.
In recent years, Eunice found joy in her marriage to Jerald “Jerry” Janzen, whom she married approximately nine years ago at a little chapel in the woods in Missouri. Together, they shared a love for travel, with her favorite visiting destinations being California and Minnesota.

Made with blackberries she and Jerry picked together, her blackberry cobbler was a cherished favorite.
Eunice was an avid reader, enjoying a wide variety of books. She deeply treasured her family, especially her grandchildren.
