Obituary
OREGON/WAUSAU –Jesus took Eunice L. Groehler, age 85, to her mansion in Heaven on Wednesday, April 29, 2020. She passed away peacefully at home with Kevin and Deb by her side. She was born on April 5, 1935, in Gibbon, Minn., the daughter of Wilfred and Erna (Jannicke) Fenske.
Eunice graduated from Gibbon High School in Gibbon, Minn. She married Elroy Groehler on May 14, 1957, at The Little Brown Church in the Vale in Nashua, Iowa.
Eunice loved sewing, quilting, and painting. She enjoyed gardening, cooking and canning. Spending time with family, friends and pets, vacationing, and dancing with Elroy, made her smile. Eunice, who was a faith-filled Christian is now in the presence of Jesus, dancing with Elroy in Heaven.

I remember good times with my Mom and my dad we would go camping and travel to nice places. Those are the things I will remember and never forget how wonderful they wear with family and friends. She will be missed, but no longer in pain she is in heaven with her loving husband and parents.
Love You Mom

My deepest sympathies to the family and loved ones of Eunice. By God's grace. Eunice was his child through baptism. She was redeemed and purchase by the blood of Jesus Christ, God's only Son and the Savior of the world. His resurrection from the dead on Easter Sunday opened the door to eternal life for Eunice. Blessed be her memory!
Eunice was a faithful member of St Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church in Schofield, WI, for many years. During her last few years while she still lived here, it was a privilege for Pastor Davidson and me to visit her regularly in her home to share a devotion and give her Holy Communion. Though with time her body and mind began to weaken physically, Eunice was kept strong spiritually in the Christian faith through the gospel in Word and Sacrament. Because of the promise of Jesus, Eunice now has eternal life in heaven. May we all cling to Jesus by faith like Eunice did!
