Eunice had a passion for learning and teaching.

Upon graduation she headed to Powell, WY and began teaching 1st grade at Parkside Elementary School. She was wed to Donald Collins on April 18th, 1954.

Eunice resided in Powell for 69 years, with a majority of those years living on N. Absaroka St. Eunice was a loving wife, mother, and grandma fondly known as Grandma "Nuni” and a friend to everyone she ever met.

Eunice was always learning and sharing with anyone she came into contact with. She never knew a stranger and loved to chat and visit. She was an avid reader and sports fanatic. She enjoyed journaling, a good cup of coffee, the Colorado Rockies, phone calls with family and friends, and playing bridge with friends.

She was the Director of the Powell Senior Citizens for many years and upon her retirement she was devoted to caring for her son, Jon.

Eunice had a deep faith and love for Jesus and she would remind us often to always ‘trust in the Lord’ completely. Her family and friends were very important and special to her, she was always taking the time to call and write to each of them.
