Eunice Ida Detlefsen
Eunice Ida Detlefsen, 68 passed away Thursday April 9, 2020 of natural causes at her home in Marion, Iowa. A Celebration of Life at Cedar Memorial Park Cemetery will be held at a later date.
She was born on March 30, 1952 in Cedar Rapids to Walter and Ida Detlefsen and was preceded in death by her parents.
Eunice was a lifelong member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Cedar Rapids and a resident of Linn Haven and Systems Unlimited in Cedar Rapids and Marion.
She is survived by her brother Phil (Polly) Detlefsen of Waterloo, Iowa and her sister Jo Ann (Les) Kleinmaier of Ottawa, Illinois along with nieces Jennifer, Karen, Sara and Susan. She is also survived by six grand nieces and nephews and many loving cousins.
Eunice graduated from Trinity Lutheran School and Kennedy Sr High School and worked for many years at Options of Linn County.
She was a very special person with very special abilities. She demonstrated the simple things in life can be the greatest joy. Her most precious times were attending church services and being with family, friends and her caring staff. She loved to swim, ride her bike, color pictures and eat hot fudge sundaes. We will miss her sense of humor and unique laugh which would always bring a smile.
Memorial donations may be directed to Systems Unlimited or Hospice of Mercy.
