Eloise Dycus
Gift of the Week – March 5, 2008
Who Gave It: Eloise Dycus
How Much: $300 (giving over $4,700 since 1981)
Who Got It: Friends of the UUA
How it Happened: Eloise Dycus was raised in a small town in the Midwest where her father was a Methodist minister. She remembers helping him fill communion cups and thinking she didn’t need all of the complex trappings of her father’s faith. In 1954, she discovered UUism and has been a dedicated UU ever since.
Eloise recently suffered a brain aneurism and was force to move from Okalahoma City to Tulsa to be closer to her family. There, she was delighted to discover that the retirement community where she now resides provides a shuttle bus service to Sunday services at her local UU church!
Her recent brain injury has caused memory problems, but Eloise always remembers to help the Friends of the UUA – because she recognizes that the services and support provided by the UUA make it possible for her church be the welcoming faith community that she has grown to love.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors. Please consider making a donation today.
