EUNIE McENTEE Obituary

There's no brief way to summarize the life of Eunie Kay McEntee, who went home to be with her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, September 11, 2018, at the age of 69, after a five year battle with Ocular Melanoma. Volumes could be written about the impact she had on all those who came in contact with her through her church, Bible studies, teaching and coaching tenures at Fresno Christian and Clovis schools, and her growing up years as Eunie Haskell in her hometown of Kingsburg, CA. She leaves behind a beloved sister and brother-in-law, Lois and DeWayne De- Moss; along with her twin brother, Tom Haskell. Her family was the greatest recipient of her endless energies and boundless love beginning first and foremost with her husband of 48 years, David Mc- Entee; their three sons and daughters-in-"love", Tom and Julie, Paul and Jaynell, and Ben and Danielle. Her greatest pride and joy, and likely topic of any conversation you may have had with her, were their 12 grandchildren, Jonah, Titus, McKay, Joel, Tobias, Nathan, Elsie, Samuel, Lucy, Jubilee, Gideon, and Lavender. The most important thing about Eunie was that she was loved by her Savior Jesus Christ and she loved Him. If you didn't know that about her, you didn't know Eunie. She was a servant to her community, her church, her friends, and her family because she served a risen Savior first and she serves Him now forever. 1 Peter 1:3-9. A Memorial Service will be held at Riverpark Bible Church in Fresno, CA, on Saturday, September 15, 2018, at 11:00 a.m.

So sorry to hear that Eunie is no longer here. She will be greatly missed. I first met Eunie at church many years ago when she was helping with a kids musical playing a very silly role and having a blast. I quickly learned that this very much fit her personality. She was so fun and loved to laugh and make others laugh. Her enthusiasm for life and Jesus was contagious. She always had something encouraging to say and loved to bless others. Everyone loved to be with her. Praising the Lord for his grace, love and joy that was so evident in Eunie's life and thankful that she received her promotion and is with our Savior. Praying for Dave, the kids and grandkids- there are no words to describe your loss. Praying that you will feel God carrying you in this difficult time and that you will experience His peace that passes all understanding

I was sad to hear of Eunie's passing, but I rejoice knowing she is with our Savior. I graduated from Kingsburg high schiol with Eunie and her brother, Tom. Eunie was loved by all who knew her, but equally, she loved everyone she knew. So glad to know I will see her again one day. Until then
my sincere condolences to her husband, children, grandchildren and family and friends. I know she will be missed.

This lovely woman was the greatest example of Grace I have ever known. What each of us should aspire to in our Christian lives.
It's a joy to know that Eunie is now in a Glorified body and in the very presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I never had the honor of knowing this special lady. But my son Isaiah has been blessed with having her son Paul be his band teacher. She must shine through her son, for he also is a very special person. He has not only taught my son music, but life lessons. My thoughts, and prayers are with the family. Rest in peace Momma Mac.

I'm so glad we got to speak on last time after a few years of lost connections. She was my high school PE teacher for 3-years (75, 76, & 77). I was her PE assistant for 2 of those years. She followed me throughout my Navy career and told me I was always in her prayers. She always believed in me and my potential. She loved unconditionally. I will miss knowing she is no longer here.
