Eunice Nan Conerly Craig, age 78, passed away at her residence in Starkville, MS on January 6, 2019.

Eunice was a retired teacher from Auburn High School in Auburn, Alabama. She loved the Mississippi State Bulldogs and was an avid supporter of MSU Baseball. Eunice loved the Methodist Church where she faithfully taught Sunday school for the 2-year old children for several years. Most of her life was spent as an educator because of her love for young people. She enjoyed tennis and relaxing at the beach. As important as these all were, her greatest asset was her love for her family, being a devoted mother, and serving as a wonderful wife.

A memorial service is scheduled for Wednesday, January 9, 2019 at the First Methodist Church in Starkville, MS at 2 p.m. Visitation will be held from 12 – 2 p.m.
