Eunice Marie Kohls was born March 24, 1935, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to William and Rhoda (Rogers) Kohls. The family later moved to the New Ulm area. Eunice was a 1953 graduate from New Ulm High School. On November 3, 1956, Eunice was united in marriage to Donald Quam in Hanska, Minnesota. Together, they made their home in St. Paul and later Center City, raising a daughter and three sons with love and dedication. Besides being a loving mother and wife, Eunice worked for many years at the Gillette factory in St. Paul. In their later years, Eunice and Donald enjoyed retirement between Arizona and New Ulm. Eunice had a deep appreciation for the simple joys of life. She loved spending time outdoors, especially in her gardens, and found great satisfaction in tending to her flowers and plants. She took pleasure in observing and listening to birds. She was an avid reader and always had a puzzle in progress. She was a longtime member of Christ the King Lutheran Church in New Ulm, where she would help-out and volunteer where needed. Above all, Eunice will be remembered for her quiet strength, her devotion to family, and her gentle spirit. She found joy in life’s simple pleasures and shared that joy generously with those around her. Her family and friends will cherish her memory and the love she gave so freely. Eunice’s life was a blessing, her memory a treasure–she is loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. Blessed be her memory.
