Eunice M. Verstegen (nee Ebben), devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, went peacefully to the arms of the Lord surrounded by her grateful family on Sunday, October 15, 2023.
She was born to Simon and Marie (Hietpas) Ebben on October 22, 1930. Following the death of her mother, Eunice and her siblings were raised by a devoted stepmother, Ceceilia.
Eunice grew up in Little Chute, WI where she met and fell in love with Roger F. Verstegen. They were married on June 22, 1952, and celebrated 71 years of commitment to each other.
They were blessed with eight children: Ron (Sue), Mary (Ralph), Dave (Ellen), Tom (Kim), Jean (Bob) Kress, Donna (Fairon) Brown, Kathy (Randy) Pallo, and Christie (Joe) Demler. She was further blessed with 31 grandchildren and 30 (and counting) great-grandchildren. She knew the names and birthdays of each one right up to the end. In addition to her beloved husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, she is survived by several siblings and in-laws. In addition to her parents, she will be greeted in Heaven by grandchild, Leah Verstegen, and two siblings.
Following her first career as a homemaker, she worked 20 years as a nursing assistant at Bethel Home. She was truly happy when she lovingly cared for other people. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
