Mrs. Eunice McCormick Thompson

Mrs. Eunice McCormick Thompson was a woman whose life was a beautiful reflection of love, faith, and devotion to family. She passed away January 5, 2026 surrounded by that love she so freely gave throughout her life.

Family meant everything to Eunice. She found her greatest joy in caring for those she loved, always making sure everyone felt welcome, nourished, and cherished. Her love was not just spoken, it was shown in all she did.
