Eunice Warren, 90, of Henniker, passed away at home on Friday, Jan. 15, 2010.  She had lived in Henniker for the past 8 years, after moving from Epsom, N.H. where she had lived for 48 years.

Eunice was born July 14, 1919, in Jamaica, N.Y., the daughter of William Elsasser and Freida (Schadek) Elsasser.

She graduated from Anderson University in Anderson, Ind., where she met her life long friend, Sheldine Link of Pa.

Eunice lived in New York City, and worked at both Rockefeller Center and the Empire State Building.

She met Charles (Bill) Warren at a church function and after a period of time they eloped in June, 1952.  She experienced the culture shock of moving from the big city to Epsom with Bill.  They were married for 40 years until Bill passed away in July, 1992.

She helped Bill raise his two daughters, Janet and Joyce.  She and Bill also had another daughter, Melanie.

Eunice may have been small in stature but she was full of energy.  Over the years in New Hampshire she worked at the Lorna Doone restaurant on the Epsom traffic circle, Johnson’s Dairy Bar in Northwood, Dictaphone in Concord and while working there she also had two other part-time jobs.  She worked for the State of New Hampshire at the Department of Resources and Economic Development and the Secretary of State’s office.  She also worked at Epsom Manor.

She traveled with Bill, for his work and her pleasure, to various parts of the United States, to Venezuela, to Turkey, and spent a year in Australia where she renewed her hobby of painting landscapes, etc.

In her later years, Eunice enjoyed traveling with her daughters, reading magazines and her daily newspaper, feeding the birds, and going to her weekly hair appointment.

She is survived by Janet (Warren) Darling of Loudon, N.H. and Inverness, Fla., Joyce (Warren) Small of Northwood, N.H., Melanie (Warren) Gentley, of Henniker, N.H.; three grandchildren, Deborah (Small) Winship of Ore., David Small of Northwood, N,H. and Marcy (Gentley) Golec of Penacook, N.H.; nine great-grandchildren; and a brother, Daniel Elsasser of Calif.  She will be missed by all who knew her.
