She was affectionately known by her close loved ones as, “Big Red.” She loved her Graham Red Devils and was a passionate Carolina basketball fan. Eunice and Jim were dedicated and faithful members of First Baptist Church of Graham, later moving their membership to New Covenant Fellowship.  Her faith and dedication to Jesus was witnessed by all that knew her.
