Eula was primarily a housewife and mother with a short stint at Montgomery Ward in Kansas City in the 1950's. She loved the farm and farm life, especially her cows. Among friends and family, she was know for her cooking and sewing skills. Her homemade chicken and noodles, vegetable soup, cinnamon rolls, and chocolate chip/black walnut cookies were revered by most who had them. She made virtually all her own clothes.
