Eunice (Severson) Askling

Eunice Viola Askling was born on July 4, 1922 in Larchwood, Iowa to Selmar and Marie Severson. She gained her wings on January 20, 2022 at Logan Health Extended Care in Conrad. Eunice married George Askling, the love of her life, on May 30, 1942. Together they had six children: Leon, Barbara, Kathy, Joyce, Gale, and Georgia.

The couple lived a few years in Hudson, SD, a short time in Washington, until finally settling in Conrad. In Conrad Eunice worked at the Conrad Creamery for a few years. She then took a job working at the Assessor’s office from 1962 until retiring in 1984. George and Eunice loved to spend the winters down south after their retirement. She loved to go camping at Glacier National Park. Although, their favorite place to park their motorhome was at their kids’ and grandkids’ homes. Eunice loved to play cards with whoever was willing to challenge her. Her mother always told her she was the firecracker of the family. Her family fondly remembers when visiting Eunice, she would cook the best fried chicken for them.

Eunice is survived by her son, Leon (Jerri) Askling of Choctaw, OK; daughters, Joyce (Ken) Yocom of Hobbs, NM, and Kathy (Vernon) Gjullin of Conrad; 18 grandchildren; 36 great grandkids; 3 great great grandkids; sisters-in-law, Phyllis Krause and Audrey Thompson; many nieces and nephews.
