Charlotte H. Eubanks

October 23, 2022

Charlotte H. Eubanks, age 72 of Pace, Florida passed away on Thursday, October 20, 2022 after a brief illness. She courageously battled Glioblastoma for 21 days. She was married to the love of her life, Hardy N. Eubanks III, for almost 50 years before becoming widowed in December 2020.

Charlotte was born on November 16, 1949 in Laurel, Mississippi. She was the daughter of Warren Hinton and Kathryn Sherman. She resided in Soso, Mississippi for 18 years. She then attended The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg while earning a bachelor’s degree in Home Economics. She later returned to Southern Miss to earn a Master’s degree in Home Economics and later earned another in Biological Sciences.

Charlotte was a hard-working educator for 44 years. She taught a variety of subjects including Culinary Arts, Biology, and Anatomy & Physiology. She spent the last 27 years of her career at Pace High School. Throughout her career, she taught over 6000 students, and the impact she had on many of them will never be forgotten. From her entertaining lessons and zany mnemonic devices to her energetic sponsorship of clubs and organizations, she influenced her students to be the best version of themselves academically, socially, and morally.

Charlotte was a member of the East Hill Church of Christ in Pensacola, Florida for over 37 years where she enjoyed teaching children’s classes, singing hymns, and hosting church gatherings in her home. She was an avid seamstress, quilter, and crafter. She truly loved sharing her gifts by teaching others to learn these special skills too. Charlotte was an active member of the Tallahala chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Over the years, she was also involved in many service organizations throughout the community.

There was nothing Charlotte enjoyed more than being a loving Mom and Meme. She and Hardy spent countless hours with all five of their grandchildren. Whether she was attending their games, musical events, watching movies, baking brownies, or making a root beer float, these moments brought endless happiness to her life. Being a mother and grandmother was one of the greatest joys of her life.

She truly had a servant’s heart. She devoted much of her life to taking care of everyone around her. When her mother was paralyzed from a stroke, Charlotte selflessly became her care-giver for 9 years of her life. Charlotte also lovingly cared for her dear husband Hardy as he suffered from a degenerative brain disease for 2 years. She was a giver in every aspect of life. This depth of love and genuine care for others is a treasured gift that will be missed by all that knew her.

Charlotte is survived by her daughters Joy (Josh) Owens of Pace, FL and Katie (Brandon) Faulkner of Winter Garden, FL; and her grandchildren, Bryan (Alyssa) Shy, Caleb and Asher Owens, Kaylee and Bradley Faulkner; along with many brother/sister in-laws and nieces & nephews.

She is preceded in death by her husband of 49 ½ years, Hardy N. Eubanks III; her parents Warren and Kathryn Hinton; and her sister, Diane Stringer.
Funeral services will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 29, 2022 at Faith Chapel Funeral Home North. The family will receive friends from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Friday, October 28, 2022 at the funeral home.
