- Bio: Eunice A. Wright
Eunice was born Feb. 4, 1914 to Martha Helen (Larson) Vieburg and Charles Clarence Vieburg at their farm home near Langford, SD., the eldest of four daughters. She graduated from Langford High School at the age of 16 and attended Minneapolis Business College in Minneapolis, Minn. She was a brilliant student in both high school and college and gave up a promising teaching career to devote her life to her family.
On Nov. 30, 1932 in Aberdeen, SD., Eunice married Maynard Warren Wright. They made their home near Columbia, S.D. until they moved to Nampa, Idaho in 1942 where they lived for a year. In 1943 they moved to Boise where they raised their family. Last fall Eunice moved to Vancouver, Wash. to live with her youngest daughter and family.
Eunice worked 17 years at the (Cash) Bazaar Department Store, and six years at Falk's ID Department Store as a sales clerk, Eunice and Maynard retired in the spring of 1974 and traveled extensively in the United States visiting many relatives including their daughters, son-in-laws, and families. They enjoyed many modes of travel; taking cruises, flying and driving thruout the United States.
Eunice is survived by: son Jerry Wright and wife Ellie, daughter-in-law Barbara Wright, daughters Linda Lee Bilbao and Diana Dee Grisham and son-in-law Mike Grisham, 10 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. She also has two sisters Phyllis Denman and Claire Baarstad as well as many beloved nieces and nephews. Eunice is preceded in death by her husband Maynard, her son James (Jim) Wright, her son-in-law Steve Bilbao, her great grandson Mayne Wright, and her sister Kathryn Badgley.
Everything and all that Eunice did, she did with perfection. She was an expert at cooking, baking, sewing, and a variety of craft works. For years many of her crafts and baking endeavors, received 1st place prizes at the Western Idaho State Fair. She made festive ornate Christmas stockings and crocheted baby afghans for many of the great-grandchildren. She also made beautiful patch-work quilts for each of her children and her grandchildren. Every year Eunice would make dozens upon dozens of her delicious cinnamon rolls at Christmas time for each family including the grandchildren's families and for her friends. She was a superb seamstress and everything she sewed had to be perfect or it would be ripped out and redone. It was a complete pleasure for her to sew for her family, no project was too big or too small; winter coats, spring jackets, beautiful dresses, shirts, baby clothes to name just a few, any-thing they requested she would do! She loved to play cards and games with her children, grand-children and great grandchildren. If they wanted to try a new card game or board game she always was ready to learn it and loved every minute of it! Family times together were her happiest times!
Eunice was an active church member at Immanuel Lutheran Church during her first years in Boise and later she became a Charter Member of Redeemer Lutheran Church. In the past few years she attended Boise's Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church with her family and when moving to Vancouver she attended St. John Lutheran church with her family there. She was a good and faithful servant.
Special thanks to the entire staff at Legacy Emmanuel at Salmon Creek Hospital in Vancouver for the compassion and loving care they gave to Eunice. On Eunice's last day they provided a musician who came in and played a harp of heavenly, comforting, peaceful, music. She passed away with the elegant grace and dignity in which she did everything throughout her entire life. We also want to thank Dr. Olivia Jones and her staff. Dr. Jones showed Eunice compassion, empathy, concern, respect and love. She recognized that she was not a quitter and she helped her fight the good fight.
Eunice was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend to those of us who knew her intimately and even those who knew her only casually, part of our hearts are missing, only to be replaced when we reunite in Heaven. Eunice has always boon the heart and soul of our family, the matriarch that bonded her beloved family together. We thank God for her precious life and the legacy of love she leaves with each ono of us. There are not words enough to express how very much we all will miss her.
Funeral services will be conducted at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 25, 2006 at Redeemer Lutheran Church, 2920 Cassia Street. Interment will follow at Cloverdale Cemetery. Services are under the direction of the Alden-Waggoner Funeral Chapel.
