Eunice Faye Griswold

Eunice Faye Griswald, 90, of Toledo, Ohio, passed away Monday, April 17, 2017.  She was born October 2, 1926 to parents Lynn & Mary Griswold. 

Eunice had a great passion for music.  She started playing the clarinet in the 5th grade.  She was in the marching band in high school, where she even played clarinet solos on several occasions.  Her love of children took her life in a teaching direction.  She attended Bowling Green State University and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Education.  She went on to further her education with a Master’s of Education from BGSU and an Education Specialist from the University of Toledo.  She enjoyed helping children reach their full potential and touched more lives than she realized.  She had taught at Toledo Public Schools for 42 years.  Eunice taught at Libby High School for 22 years as a reading specialist, also at Long Fellow and Fulton.  She was very active in the Sorority, serving as President, Vice President, Telephone Committee for ADK, and was a lifetime member of NEA & OEA.  She was also Silver Sister 1991, Sapphire Sister 2011, and Golden Sister 2017.  Her love of music led her to become good friends with Marica Voss.  Together, they would travel to different cities to enjoy Barry Manilow concerts.  They would also travel to New York City to watch operas.  When she was not traveling, she enjoyed crossword puzzle books and word searches. 

Eunice is preceded in death by her parents and many dear friends.  She will be dearly missed.
