Obituary

Eunice Ann (Curtis) Dagnon, age 80, was born October 14, 1940, in Steuben, Wisconsin to Loren and Esther (Kast) Curtis. She grew up a farm girl in rural Crawford County, graduating from Wauzeka High School in 1958. She met her husband Richard (Dick) Dagnon in high school, a love of music and dancing brought them together and they were united in marriage on December 5th, 1959.

Eunice and Dick started their marriage on an adventure, moving to London, England immediately. This is where Eunice developed her love for traveling. They settled in Platteville in 1964. Eunice worked various retail jobs throughout the years, including their family shoe store, LeMoines, in downtown Platteville. But her true calling was that of a caregiver. Eunice spent many years providing home care to the elderly, providing excellent care through love, patience, and understanding for all. These qualities are her legacy, she taught her children to accept all with love, respect, and compassion.

Eunice found her happiest moments spent with family. When her children were growing up her love of music and dancing was prevalent in the house, always singing, and on Sundays the furniture was cleared, and dancing ensued. It was joyful and created beautiful family memories.

Spending time with family was most precious to her. Being a grandmother and great-grandmother brought great joy to her life.

She was a member of the United Methodist Church in Platteville and after moving to Prairie du Chien was blessed to have Pastor Lynn Schreck in her life, supporting her faith and guiding her journey.

Eunice is survived by her daughters, Pam (Ross) Ritchie of Prairie du Chien, and Paula (Ron) Reif of Raleigh, North Carolina; six grandchildren, Gabe Ritchie, Somer (Brian) Clark, Kristy (Kris Bjerke) Knoble, Tisha Mae Earle, Austin Reif and Grace Reif; twelve great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild; brother, Dale Curtis; and sister-in-law, Shirley (Rich) Emery; and a number of nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Dick Dagnon; her parents, Loren and Esther Curtis; siblings, Edna Trumm, Ethel Ward, Edith Davis, Evelyn Breitenbach, Lloyd (Dick) Curtis; as well as many sisters and brothers-in-laws.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the home of Eunice's daughter, Pam, in Prairie du Chien. Memorials may be made to the Eunice Dagnon Memorial Fund, which can be mailed to the funeral home at PO Box 245, Platteville, WI 53818. The Melby Funeral Home & Crematory, Platteville, is assisting the family. Online condolences can be made at www.melbyfh.com.

The family would like to thank the staff and residents of Bluff Haven Assisted Living for amazing care and friendship as well as the wonderful caring services of Agrace Hospice.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother....I didn't know her but did know Dick when he worked at LeMoines where my brother, Michael, worked long ago and I often wondered how he had the patience but both Herb and the employees did! Those were the days of the corner shoe store...I caregive my late mom, Zelma, for many years from both Platteville and cities I lived and say "thank you" to your mom in doing so...it requires a gift of caring and loving to caregive someone you care so much about...please know my deepest sympathy and prayers are with you at this time. Respectfully, Carolyn Schuldt Platteville/Peoria
