She was born March 11, 1926, in Torrington, Wyoming to Thomas W. and Anna M. Bracken. Eunice grew up on a farm in the Hawk Springs, Wyoming area with her seven siblings. She studied music at the University of Nebraska and at Colorado State University. After college, she worked as a dental assistant before marrying John Dale Anderson on October 2, 1948. Later she resumed working as a dental assistant in order to help put her children through college.
