Eunice attended Moore County school and went on to marry Frank Arthur Boone who passed in 1995. later meeting her sweetheart Kirby “KC” Winstead, who she remained with until her last days.
Eunice began babysitting children of family and friends until she re-entered the workforce. in 1976 she began working at Capital Heights Elementary School as a Parent Teacher Advocate in Capital Height MD. Her love for children led her tp become a Foster Parent in the State of Maryland.
Eunice was a fiercely strong and independent mother, raising nine equally tenacious and strong children. Eunice was everyone’s go to person and teller of all truths, she did not hold back her opinion. our family would bot be where it is today if we did not have Eunice as a mother. When she wasn’t cooking a meal or cleaning, you could find her shopping away at one of her favorite stores: Eunice took pride in her home, and having a hot meal ready. Her doors were always open just like her heart.
Our beloved family was defined by love, discipline and respect. Without Eunice’s love and support, the lives of many in our family would have been drastically different.
