Eunice Pauline Loomans, age 84, went to her eternal home on July 10, 2025. 

She was born on March 1, 1941, in Suring, Wis., to Paul and Doris Tuschy and re-born of the Spirit in Christian Baptism on March 30, 1941. In this Christian faith she was confirmed on May 8, 1955.   

On July 15, 1967, she married Dale Loomans at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Suring, Wis. To this couple God entrusted their children, Scott (Sandra), Ted (Susan), and Wendy (Tariq). She adored her five grandchildren:  Genesis, Joelle, Josiah, Kamran, and Zach.

Eunice was valedictorian of Suring High School in 1959. She earned a bachelor’s degree in education at Concordia University, St. Paul, MN, and a master’s degree from Concordia University, River Forest, IL. She put these degrees to practice at St. Peter’s Lutheran School in Reedsburg, Wis., where she told children of Jesus’ love for 31 years.   

She loved the outdoors, particularly her large and productive gardens, beautiful flowers, and being serenaded by orioles perched in nearby elm trees. On opening day, she was in the woods with family and harvested an occasional deer.

Eunice lettered in softball at Concordia University and was an ardent fan of the Milwaukee Braves and the Green Bay Packers.In her later days, she shared that she looked forward to watching games from the front row of Heaven.

Artful use of humor was a prominent element of her cheerful disposition. Her most enduring characteristic was her constant support and encouragement for her family and friends.   

She is survived by her sister, Elenore Hischke; brother, Gary (Cindy) Tuschy; all of her children and grandchildren; many dear nieces and nephews, other relatives, and friends. Also surviving her are two sisters-in-law, Mary and Jane, with whom she shared a great friendship. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and her sister, Jean Breitzman.
