Eunice was born in Aberfeldy, ON and raised in Shetland ON, daughter of the late Douglas and Bertha (Reycraft) Dobbyn. Beloved wife of Robert "Bob"Fennell of 67 years.

Eunice was first and foremost a great home-maker who created an orderly and beautiful home for her husband and children. She was educated in music and teaching and shared those talents throughout her life singing and directing choirs in schools, churches, and the community. She lived a life of faith serving the United Church through choirs, UCW, Council, and "inspecting" pies.  She was widely known for her baking as she generously hosted many family gatherings, socials, meetings, and large scale celebrations.  She set the bar high in all that she pursued leaving a legacy of love, family, faith, music, service, and style. She will be greatly missed.
