EUNICE CARLSON YERGIN of Green Valley died, sitting up reading a book, early on Oct. 26, 2009, in Tucson. She was 86. While her passing was unexpected, her family are grateful that it was peaceful and she was doing something she so loved.Always in her life there were books; she passed on a lifelong love of reading to her two daughters.
