A woman living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at 2Ti.1.5.

Eunice was the mother of Timothy, a young Christian leader and companion of Paul (2 Timothy 1:5). She was a Jewish believer married to a Greek man (Acts 16:1). Eunice, along with her mother Lois, had a sincere faith that greatly influenced Timothy's spiritual development (2 Timothy 1:5). Paul's mention of Eunice's faith suggests that she played a significant role in Timothy's early education in the Scriptures and his growth as a Christian (2 Timothy 3:15).
