My deepest sympathies to all family members. I first met Eunice in 2007 when my husband and I moved to San Marcos. She holds a special place in my heart and will always be remembered fondly. Eunice loved to tell me about the happy times that she shared with Doyle as well as all of her many family members! I am glad to have been a part of her life, even if for such a short time. What I admired most was her love of the Lord and her strength in daily living. She was truly an inspiration.

Doyle & Eunice were very special people to our family. We spent many happy times with them, when I was growing up in E. Texas. I always enjoyed visiting with them at our Conner Cousins reunion. Our daughter, Pam took Mother to visit with Eunice after Doyle went to be with the Lord. May all of you find comfort in your special memories of your wonderful Mother, G.M & GGM. Loving condolences to each of you. Earlene

We enjoyed visiting with Aunt Eunice and Uncle Doyle. For several years we brought my grandmother Annie Conner to their house to visit while we went to Schlitterbahn for the day. One year when we picked up my grandmother, my van wouldn’t start and they were so quick to have us spend the night until we could get someone to start the car the next morning. Eunice exibited the character of a true Christian in serving others. We have nothing but wonderful memories of her.

Have such fond memories
of Aunt Eunice. She was always so loving and kind. I thought she was the prettiest ladies I had ever known.
We have been so blessed to have her for so many years.

Love to all.
