Eunice Voorhees
January 3, 1921 — November 26, 2006
Eunice Judell Fragodt, daughter of Gilbert and Bertha (Sandven) Fragodt, was born January 3, 1921 in Swenoda Township in Swift County, Minnesota, where she grew up and began her schooling. She later graduated from Appleton High School. On May 2, 1940, she was united in marriage to Donald Voorhees at Big Bend Lutheran Parsonage in rural Big Bend, Minnesota. In the late 1940's, the couple moved to the Morris area, where Eunice worked as a retail clerk for various Morris stores. When Donald purchased the Morris Texaco and the Morris Sinclair Service Stations, Eunice took over the bookkeeping for the businesses.
Eunice was a member of First Lutheran Church in Morris and also the Birthday Club. She enjoyed camping and playing cards. She especially enjoyed the time she spent with family and friends.
