Eula graduated from Long Beach, California, High School in 1948. She was a drummer in the band and very athletic. She married Wayne D. Conway in 1948. They traveled the world with the Air Force, living in many countries like Japan, Spain, and Turkey. They had four children all surviving. In 1995, she married Stanley Stanford in Aptos, California.
Eula was an accomplished tailor and seamstress. She altered many men’s suits in her lifetime and handmade many wedding dresses. She loved helping with theater creating costumes for productions. She loved to knit, and loved watching birds but her passion was gardening, she loved flowers. Even in her late eighties she could be found outside at the Lawrence County Manor pulling weeds and planting flowers. She appreciated all the help she got with gardening projects from her church family and employees at the Manor.
