On January 6, 1951, she was united in marriage to Oliver Leitch in Angola, Indiana. They lived in Pontiac while Oliver was employed at Pontiac Motors. In 1960, they moved back to Huron County settling near Elkton where they raised their family. Eunice enjoyed Tiger baseball, playing cards, cooking and canning. She helped harvesting the apple crop, gathering the honey from their bees and in the spring getting the sap to make real maple syrup. But most of all, she loved being with their children, grandchildren, family and friends. Oliver preceded her in death December 8, 2011.
