Eunice V. Grissman (Welhouse), 81, a.k.a. "Euny," originally from Kaukauna, resided near Sherwood, WI. She was born to George and Elizabeth (Gast) Welhouse on June 26, 1934. Surrounded by family, she left this earth peacefully on April 15, 2016, to continue her journey to her heavenly home. There she will be reunited with her loved ones.
On March 30, 1957, Eunice married her sweetheart, Don Grissman, Kaukauna, and recently celebrated their 59th Anniversary. After graduating from Kaukauna High School, she worked at Aid Association for Lutherans, and Sherwood Food Mart until retirement.
"She is worth far more than rubies" (v. 10), "Her children arise and called her blessed" (v.28). Proverbs 31 is a great example of how Eunice lived her life. She always made the most of her talents and resources, including the gift of hospitality. Whenever people came to visit, she always made you feel welcome and loved.
Through the years, Eunice and Don enjoyed camping and traveling with their girls, and continued the tradition with their grandkids.
Possessing a true servant's heart, Eunice faithfully cared for her family and friends through cooking, baking, sewing and gardening. A woman of faith and the heart of the Grissman family, Euny shaped their spirituality by her constant prayers, love and guidance.
Eunice loved to garden, dance, bowl, play cards, camp and especially laugh, to name a few.
Eunice's legacy includes her husband, Don; and three daughters: Shelly (Tom) Jost of Hilbert, Lori (John) Krueger of Hilbert, and Julie (Mike) Morris of Oshkosh, WI. Grandma to 8: Stephanie (Mike) Halbach, Danielle Jost, Whitney (Kyle) Kees, Ashley Krueger, Kyle Krueger, Logan, Luke and Levi Morris. Great Grandma to 4: Aaron, Zach, Colton and baby Halbach due in October. Euny is further survived by siblings: Dick (Geri) Welhouse, Elayne (Dennis) Lehrer, Sharon (Jerry) Pitt, Eugene (Frankie) Welhouse, David (Dixie) Welhouse.
Preceded in death are her parents, Elizabeth and George Welhouse, and her sister JoAnn (Dick) Frederickson.
A Celebration honoring Eunice will be on Tuesday, April 19, 2016 at ST. PETER LUTHERAN CHURCH (43 N. Third Street, Hilbert, WI 54129). Visitation will be from 2-4 pm, service at 4pm, with luncheon to follow. She will be buried in the church cemetery.
The family is deeply grateful for the outpouring love, prayers and support in many heartfelt forms of family and friends, including the ThedaCare Hospice Team and Cherry Meadows facility. Special thanks goes to Amy, Jill, Claudia, Lynn and the wonderful, caring nurses who took amazing care of Mom. Her memory will be cherished through the legacy of her family as she continues on her journey.
God Bless you Mom! You will be missed, but not forgotten!!
