Eunice Main, age 90, of Johnston, Iowa, and formerly of Storm Lake, Iowa, died December 22, 2010, at Mercy Hospice in Johnston.
Eunice Jeannette Peterson was born September 18, 1920, in Peterson, Iowa, the daughter of John and Edna (Lundien) Peterson. Growing up, Eunice lived in Albert City, Iowa, and graduated from Storm Lake High School in 1938.
In 1939, Eunice was united in marriage to Donald Main in Storm Lake. They were blessed with nine children: Sondra, Beverly, Patti, Jackie, Janet, Becky, Cathy, Nita, and Robert.
Most of Eunice's years were spent as a homemaker caring for her husband and children. She also spent years as a cook in St. Mary's lunchroom. She then volunteered as a classroom aid and helped at the school wherever she could. She loved working with the children. One of her special memories was when she received a Volunteer Award from Governor Branstad.
She loved having her family together and spending time with them. Her family will forever cherish the many quilts she sewed and tied as well as the frogs and the crocheted items she created. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
Those left to cherish her memory include her husband, Donald Main, of Johnston, Iowa; her children: Sondra (Robert) Miller, of Rock Valley, Iowa, Beverly (Dale) Reis, of Wichita Falls, Texas, Patti Sampers, of Lakewood, Colorado, Jackie (Richard) Thompson, of Des Moines, Iowa, Janet (William) Engler, of Sac City, Iowa, Becky (Richard) Dirkx, of Storm Lake, Iowa, Cathy (Timothy) Bueb, of Clive, Iowa, Nita (Dennis) Miller, of Des Moines, Iowa, Robert (Jody) Main, of Main, and Ewa Beach, of Hawaii; her thirty-two grandchildren; her 54 great grandchildren; her sister, Denise Hjelle, of Glenwood, Iowa; and extended family and friends.
