For more than 30 years, Eulalia invited us into her home during Kansas deer season. She was always up at the crack of dawn and puttering about the kitchen, worrying that we had a good breakfast and a cup of coffee. She loved to watch Wheel of Fortune while we talked about our day(s) afield, and always asked about our family, kids, and activities. She was a wonderful piano player and an absolute card shark (especially at canasta!). I don't think any of the guys ever bested her in a hand, although Rita seemed to hold her own quite well. I feel fortunate to have been witness and part of her care, concern, and love for others.
When I was a freshman in high school, I wanted so bad to learn to play the piano, but had no money for lessons. Eulaliia offered to give me lessons...in exchange for me working for her. Oh, the fun it was! I enjoyed my hour of working, much more than the lessons. I continued to do this throughout high school, however, I did not ever finish the 2nd grade book... it it was not because she didn't do her part. It was because I didn't do my practicing! Poor Eulalia... how she must have hated that hour of sitting at the piano and listening to my mistakes! But she would laugh and we would have such fun. I learned to butcher chickens, clean out the barn, snap green beans, wash jars before canning,... oh, so many fun things, And she made it all so fun. Rita and Billy were little kids and I can still hear her hollering for them to come to the house. I loved it at the Bird's house and will always have a very special place in my heart for Eulalia.
Eulalia shared her kitchen when her daughter and I thought we could cook, pizza of course. Am pretty sure we cleaned up afterward too. Eulalia always was a gracious hostess.
Love to her family,

So sorry to hear of Eulalia's passing. It was a great pleasure to get to know her while she was here at Brookdale Derby. I will miss her sweet smile and her wonderful stories, along with hearing her play the piano. May God be with the family during this sorrowful time.
