Born in Mississippi on May 25, 1920, Eunice resided with her granddaughter and her family in Prescott, Arizona, for less than a year. She spent seven years prior to that in Fayetteville N.C.; and prior to that, she resided in New Jersey for over 50 years. Eunice served in the United States Women’s Army Corps during World War II as a telephone operator. She spent three years in the South Pacific, where she met and married the love of her life, her husband, Salvatore R Galati. She attended church at Carroll Memorial Baptist church in Fayetteville N.C. and was baptized at 92 years old! Once she moved to Prescott, she found a new church family at First Southern Baptist Church. She loved going to church, especially her Sunday school class. She spent her time reading, playing cards and playing games on her computer. In her younger years, she also enjoyed bowling, gardening and watching baseball. She was feisty and spunky and will be missed by many! She was a loving mother, sister, aunt, and friend. More than everything else, she was the best grandmother ever. They say that the best grandmas become great-grandmoms and only the greatest grandmoms become great- great-grandmoms and that was the truth. A memorial will be held to honor and celebrate her life on Friday, Sept 15, at 1 p.m. at First Southern Baptist church. Arrangements entrusted to Affordable Burial and Cremation, LLC.
