Eunice Peterson Risch

Eunice Peterson Risch (née Ring), age 87, passed away peacefully on April 6, 2025, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Born on July 10, 1937, in Minneapolis, Eunice was a lifelong resident of the city she loved. She graduated from Marshall High School in Minneapolis as part of the Class of 1955. Her roots in the community ran deep, and her life reflected a strong connection to family, tradition, and personal passions.

Eunice had a vibrant personality and a wide range of interests that brought her joy throughout her life. A devoted sports enthusiast, she followed football, baseball, basketball, the Olympics, auto racing, tennis, golf—nearly every sport with enthusiasm and dedication. Her love for sports was matched by her passion for collecting memorabilia from both Hollywood and the athletic world. She held a special fondness for Frank Sinatra and James Dean, whose timeless charisma resonated deeply with her.

Family was at the heart of Eunice’s world. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren fiercely and unconditionally. Her devotion to them was unwavering and evident in every aspect of her life.

She is lovingly remembered by Harley Ring Jr., Jeanette Prause (Bruce), Pamela Folz, Michael Peterson (Dani); four grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. Their lives are a testament to her enduring love and influence.

Eunice was preceded in death by her father, Harley Ring Sr. and her mother, Marion Ring.

May her memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her.
