    Eufemia was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.

Eufemia was most passionate about investing her time with her family. She always had a wonderful smile and a joyful laugh that would light up the room. Eufemia was big hearted, full of love, caring and compassionate. A perfect example from Exodus 20:12, “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.”
