Eugenie S. Delatour

During World War II, Eugenie went to Washington DC to work for the British Embassy. It was in Washington where she met Hunter Delatour, a Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy. Eugenie and Hunter spent 68 happy years together, living on Long Island, New York and in Reading Pennsylvania, before moving out to Northern California in 1965. They retired to Carmel Valley in 1996.

Eugenie and Hunter traveled extensively throughout Hunterʼs service on National and International Tennis committees, thus creating lasting friendships all around the world.

She was an active volunteer for many years, serving on several committees including Junior Leagues in New York and California, numerous Garden Clubs, and the Board of Peninsula Family Service.

She will be remembered for her beautiful blue eyes, her passion for gardening and flower arranging, as well as her kind and thoughtful nature which she extended to everyone she met.

Eugenie was devoted to her family and will be dearly missed by her daughters, Anne (Richard), Debbie, and Susan and grandchildren, Paige, Joe, Philip (Eva), Patrick and Diana.

Donations may be made in Eugenie's memory to The Historic Garden League of the Monterey Peninsula (www.historicgardenleague.org) or to The Monterey Symphony (www.montereysymphony.org).
