Alma Louise (Willis) Eubanks
On the evening of June 15, 2018, Alma peacefully passed away at Landmark of Louisville after a brief stay. At 88, she was still young at heart and loved her life.
Alma was born in Louisville, December 29, 1929, to Ruby and Everett Willis. She graduated from Shawnee High School and was a member of Deer Park Baptist Church. She was preceded in death by her husband, William (Bill) Eubanks; her parents; her son, Ronn; and her brothers, Stuart and Kenny. She is survived by Sandy Eubanks (Jim Riemer) (daughter), Vicki Eubanks (daughter), Nikki (granddog), and Little Cat (Sassy). Mom was such an important part of all our lives, and we will miss her so much. She will always live in our hearts.
If you knew Alma, you know that she was a strong and independent woman. While in the hospital in March, she said, “I’m a fighter.” She was a breast cancer survivor and demonstrated her strength throughout her life. Alma was the primary care-giver for her parents and brothers for over 20 years and was devoted to her three children that she raised alone after she was widowed at age 34. She also loved her animals, especially her beloved dog, Max, and her cats, past (Louise, Mollie, Bobbi, Frazier, and J.D.) and present (Lilly and Poppy). Alma loved having fun, especially going out to eat or for coffee, attending art festivals, and working in her yard.
Visitation and the memorial service will be on Thursday, June 28, from 2-7 at Highlands Funeral Home at 3331 Taylorsville Road. Private burial will be at Memorial Gardens West.
