Eunice spent her career working in the Textile Manufacturing Company, where she made significant contributions with her dedication and hard work. She was admired by her colleagues for her commitment to her craft and the high standards she set for herself.

Eunice will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. She leaves behind a loving family who will forever hold memories of her close to their hearts. Eunice was married to Robert E. Lee Sr., from Reynolds, Ga., who stood by her side through thick and thin.

Her grandchildren were a source of joy and inspiration to her, and they will forever carry her love in their heart.

She was preceded in death by her siblings Forest Little, Jennifer Little Respress, Lora Ann Little, and Beaulah Little Wade.
