I am a 1971 graduate of Norfolk General Hospital School of Professional Nursing. Mrs. Anderson was my OR instructor. She was a kind and wonderful person to all of the student nurses. We could always talk with her, not only as our instructor but also a friend. Her influence on us made us better nurses.

Eunice was my mother in law. I have been married to her son Tim for 18 years now. She was a selfless devoted parent to her children and her grand children. There wasn't anything she wouldn't do for any of them.

She loved her soaps, the Star and Enquire magazines, college basketball, and Bingo. She was very lucky too...

She never hesitated when it came to Katie and Joey. We were so fortunate to have her so near. She often sat with the kids on days school was closed. When she still drove, she could always be counted on when we worked late and they needed to be picked up.

She also made the best butter beans and corn pudding you ever tasted.

Eunice was a great friend, and I have missed her for a long time.

Mrs. Anderson was my O.R. instructor also, and she was such a wonderful person. The students really loved her kind and gentle manner. I will never forget her.

Peace to you, Mrs. Anderson.

Unfortinuatly I didn't have the good fortune to know Mrs. Anderson. Among her many attributes must have been a wonderful parent. Her son Stewart is one of my best friends and he exemplifies high character and public service.

Mrs. Anderson was my OR instructor in 1975 when I was a student with the School of Professional Nursing. She was well respected in her field, having earned the utmost respect of the surgeons and operating room staff. She always made us students feel comfortable and always had a smile and kind word of encouragement for us. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Mrs. Anderson was my OR instructor at Norfolk General in 1976. She was well respected, and I remember her fondly. She put you at ease and made it very easy to learn. My prayers are with her family.

I first met Mrs. Anderson as her student. I remember how nervous I was going into the operating room for the first time and reporting to her. After the first introduction, I knew that I would be in good hands having her as my instructor. After that, her daughter Beth and I became best of friends and have kepted in touch often. It is with great sympathy that I write this, with thoughts and prayers for the loving family.

I knew Eunice at Norfolk General. I was an instructor at the school in 1975-1978, and remembered she was a lovely lady and excellent nurse. A great role model and mentor for all of us.
God bless!
