On December 16, 1932, a beautiful baby girl was born to Francis B. and Viola Cleo Gilliam. They named her Eunice Marie.
Eunice grew up in Buffalo, New York, with her parents and her younger sister, Francine, who lovingly called her “Sissy.”
In 1952, at the age of 20, Eunice moved to San Diego, California. In November of that same year, she married the love of her life, Cletis C. Charles, who was from Louisiana. She often spoke about adjusting to his southern “country” ways compared to her New York lifestyle. Together, they built a beautiful life filled with love and laughter.
When their son, Anthony (Tony) Charles, was born, their family was complete. Eunice took great pride in dressing Tony and proudly introducing him to everyone around her.
Eunice devoted more than 40 years of her life to caring for others as a Registered Nurse, serving at various hospitals and dialysis facilities. Alongside her professional dedication, she remained deeply committed to her family, always offering love, support, and guidance. Eunice will be greatly missed by a host of family members and close friends she made here in California.
