Eulah was a long-time active member of First Free Will Baptist Church, West Plains. She served as a volunteer at the Ozark Medical Center Hospital and the hospital thrift shop for over 25 years.

Eulah loved the Lord, her family and her church and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her because our lives are better for having known her.
