Grandchildren Cory Willette, Kristy Mikuni (Josh) and Andrew Garber (Jessica) and Great-Grandchildren Angelina Ruiz, Ryan Garber, and Carson Romaine. She is also survived by her brother Vernon Fiori.
Eunice loved her family and friends very much. She was involved with DeMolay and Job’s Daughters with her children. She traveled with her husband and later her friends. She was an avid seamstress, quilter and enjoyed gardening in her spare time.
We would like to thank the staff of the Generations unit at “The Stratford at Beyer Park” in Modesto, CA for all their love and care they showed Eunice over the last three years while she was living there.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Eunice will always hold a special place in my heart. I will never forget her, will miss her everyday and love her always and forever.
My deepest sympathy and condolences to Debbie Garber and the rest of the family. Your mom was a very spunky lady who will be missed by all who knew her! Take care and if you need anything I am always here!
Your mother gave greatly, as a leader to all of us in Job’s Daughters. Your Mom was supportive, kind and mentoring to other parents, too. I remember your Mom and Dad on the council during my time as a line officer, and then as Honored Queen, holding the Bethel with great care, making sure our financial situation was in good hands, and that our Bethel prospered and grew. Thank you, Diane and Debbie, for sharing your Mom and Dad with all of us.

Eunice was a good friend and co-worker. I have fond memories of the years we worked together at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. She was so sharp and and an extremely hard worker.
After she retired from the lab the second time, she would always call me on my birthday. What an amazing memory she had. I have missed those calls over the last few years.
She was well liked and respected by all of us here.
I was speaking to Dawn Freeman today and she wanted me to pass on her condolences as well.
I will never forget “whatever”. Sometimes she would ask a question, and if you didn’t give the answer she was looking for, she would say “whatever” and walk away. 🙂
She is missed.
