Inspired by her headmistress, Eunice joined the Franciscan Sisters at 18. Despite her impoverished background, she attended Our Lady and St Francis Secondary School. After a year in the convent, Eunice ventured into policing, becoming Glasgow’s first female turnkey and having an encounter with the Queen. Following 12 years of police service, marriage, and motherhood, she became the Court Administrator for East Kilbride District Court, passionately defending the ‘Not Proven’ verdict.
