Eloise was born on January 6, 1941, in Odessa, Texas, to Gus and Artie (Magill)

Thomason. She married the love of her life, Gerald "Jerry" Gunset, on September 23, 1961, in Lubbock, Texas, beginning a devoted marriage that spanned sixty-five years. Eloise was a longtime member of the 37th Street Church of Christ, where she and Jerry faithfully served, remained actively involved, and cherished the deep friendships they formed within their church family. In 1979, Eloise and Jerry became the owners and operators of Production Logging, Inc., a faith-based company they successfully led until their retirement in May 2011.

Eloise enjoyed traveling and creating lasting memories with friends through their RV adventures. She and Jerry were proud members of the Big Country Good Sam's RV Club for more than 20 years and later traveled with the Pharr RV group for several more years. She had a servant's heart and found great joy in helping others, whether through volunteering at church youth camps, supporting community activities, or simply lending a hand whenever it was needed.

While raising her children, Eloise devoted herself to their lives and activities, investing countless hours in encouraging, mentoring, and supporting the youth of her community. She coached soccer and girls' softball, served as both a Girl Scout and Cub Scout leader, and positively impacted the lives of many families in Snyder. Her kindness, generosity, and unwavering support touched everyone who knew her. Eloise was always ready with a helping hand, a listening ear, and the warmest hugs. Her honesty, integrity, and compassionate spirit were among her greatest gifts, as she had a servant's heart.

To her children, she was lovingly known as Momma. To her grandchildren, great- grandchildren, and community, she was Mawmaw, a title she wore with immense pride and love. Throughout the Snyder community, she was known and cherished for her steadfast support, encouragement, and care for others. For more than 54 years, Snyder was the home she loved deeply. Through her devotion to family, faith, and community, Eloise left an enduring legacy that will continue to live on in the countless lives she touched.
