Eunice Ione Stick, Oolihkakumahkxkweew (“Blue Cloud Woman”), 96, of the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Nation, went to be with her Creator on Saturday, July 23, 2016.

Eunice was born in the town of Red Springs on Aug. 31, 1919, the daughter of the late Arthur Bruette and Alice (Gardner) Bruette. On July 15, 1942, Eunice was united in marriage to Jameson Doxtator, who preceded her in death on March 24, 1959. Eunice later married Howard Stick, who preceded her in death on Nov. 6, 1996.

At a very young age, Eunice got her first job making fire and cleaning at a little school nearby in Red Springs. She always spoke of how she had to get up early to get the fire going to keep all the kids warm, followed by cleaning the classroom at the end of the day. She loved cleaning the chalk board. In her teen years, she took care of children and did household duties for families in Neopit and later in Milwaukee.

Eunice loved to cook, had lots of cookbooks and always encouraged her friends to cook the way “she did it.” While living in Milwaukee, Eunice bought and managed a small delicatessen that she was so proud of, where she baked her own bread, made sandwiches and salads. Around 1974, she moved home to the reservation, where she worked at the Stockbridge Elderly Center, cooking meals.

Eunice was very interested in her Mohican Nation history and spent time doing research on that, along with her family tree, which provided her the opportunity to be employed by the Stockbridge-Munsee Library Museum, where she became a well-known tour guide and historian. Eunice met and made friends with people from all over the world while working at the museum until her retirement at the age of 88.

Eunice attended Flandreau Indian School in South Dakota until she was called home to assist her mother. Education was very, very important to Eunice, and she went to night school in Milwaukee to obtain her GED. Around 1983, Eunice learned of a special college program at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point that was geared for adult Native Americans. This intrigued her, so she enrolled. Accomplishing her dream, she graduated with her associate degree in liberal arts in 1989.

Eunice was a member of the Lutheran Church of Wilderness, where she served on the church council for a number of years, as well as cooked meals for events at the church. Church and religion were a very important part of Eunice’s life and she always invited friends and relatives to attend.

Eunice is survived by one brother, Leonard “Mr. Bingo” Welch, and one sister, Ann Brussow.

Eunice also leaves behind numerous other relatives and very special friends that have assisted her throughout time: Bud and Carmen Miller, Ernie Murphy, Jayne Pecore, Candy Coury, Joann Schedler, Carmen Cornelius, her niece, Lenore “Punkin” Shepard, Lorraine Welch, special same day birthday boy Bryce Malone and special nephew Scott Vele.

We know there are numerous others, and we don’t mean to slight anyone by not listing names. She loved everyone and she loved life, loved to laugh and especially loved her Sundays with the Bud Miller family.

She was preceded in death by her parents; both husbands; her sisters, Betty and Jeannette; and brothers, George and Felix.

Funeral services for Eunice will be held on Wednesday, July 27, 2016, at 11 a.m. at the Lutheran Church of the Wilderness with Steve Thompson officiating. Burial will be in the Stockbridge Indian Burial Grounds. Visitation will be held at the church on Tuesday from 5-8 p.m. and on Wednesday from 10 a.m. until the time of service.

Swedberg Funeral Home is assisting the family with the arrangements.

We were all Auntie Eunice’s children. She told us all the same stories and gave us all the same directions. We will always love her dearly, and our community has lost another chapter of history. She was a very loving, caring and sharing person, and loved all the children who came to visit her.
