Eunice Lawrence

Eunice (Whittecar) Lawrence, 85, of Fulton, Mo. peacefully went home to her Lord and Savior on June 5, 2019. She was born on June 20, 1933 in Cedar Butte, South Dakota to the late Lawrence Whittecar and Elsie (Washburn) Whittecar. She grew up in Loveland, Colorado. Eunice was united in marriage to the love of her life Clyde Lawrence on May 30, 1958. They enjoyed 61 wonderful years of marriage on their farm east of Fulton, Mo. Eunice was a faithful member of The Church of God (Holiness) where she enjoyed sharing her faith with those around her and working with the youth in her younger years. She worked at the Nuclear Plant and as a librarian for many years. Above everything, Eunice loved her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren with every being of her heart. They were her whole world. You could not have a conversation without her mentioning them. In addition to spending time with her family, Eunice had a beautiful gift of painting and was a talented seamstress. She enjoyed working with the youth through Church Camp, reading, growing her flowers and watching hummingbirds. She loved to share these gifts and talents with her family by making many special gifts for them. She had a deep love for the Colorado Mountains and traveling. She loved spending life on the farm she called home and was proud of what she and Clyde had made their own. Eunice was a woman of strong faith and devotion.
