Eunice E. (Vanasse) Muise, 97, of Franklin, New Hampshire, formerly of Bellingham, passed away peacefully January 14th, 2017 at the Franklin Hospital in Franklin, New Hampshire. She was the wife of the late Joseph R. Muise for 58 years before his passing in 2000.
Born in Holden, Massachusetts, August 13th 1919, the daughter of the late Leo E. & Eunice C. (Rondeau) Vanasse, Mrs. Muise had lived in Bellingham for many years before moving to New Hampshire.
She is survived by her children; Ronald Muise and his wife Trudy of Farmington, NH, Donna Day and her husband Bruce of Worcester, Deborah Fedorchak and her husband Michael of Center Barnstead, NH and James Muise of Bellingham.
She is also survived by her sister Evelyn Carlson of Pawcatuck, Connecticut and was the sister of the late Emerson “Buddy” Vanasse.
Eunice is also survived by her eleven grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.
Eunice worked at Telechron in Ashland, Fenwal Labs in Ashland, and Brayman Screw Machine Shop in Millis.
She was active in the Bellingham Woman’s Club and the Bellingham Senior Center, where she enjoyed many trips and card games with her friends. She enjoyed camping with the Good Sam’s Club and made many camping buddies along the way. She got to travel all around the United States in their mini motor home.
In 2006, Eunice moved to NH to live with her daughter and her son-in-law. Once in New Hampshire, she was involved with the senior group, “The Barnstead Nighthawks” and active in bowling with the “Year Rounders”. She enjoyed playing cards with family and friends and loved living on Halfmoon Lake. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
In 2010, Eunice became a resident of the Golden Crest Senior Wellness Center in Franklin, NH. We would most especially like to thank the Matzke family and staff members at the Golden Crest for their care. Franklin should be proud of having such a wonderful assisted living facility. During my mother’s final years at the Golden Crest, we witnessed a level of care, compassion and professionalism that was truly second to none.
Her funeral mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, January 18th in St. Brendan’s Church, Bellingham at 11:00 A.M.
Burial will be in Oak Hill Cemetery in Bellingham.
Visitation will be on Wednesday from 9:00-10:30 in the Ginley Crowley Funeral Home (www.ginleyfuneralhomes.com) 3 Barber Street, Medway.
