Eunice Pauline
Pack
Feb 26, 1936 — May 25, 2024
Hector
Eunice Pauline Pack, age 88, of Hector, passed away peacefully from this earth to her heavenly home on Saturday, May 25, 2024. She is now rejoicing with her Jesus, and family that has gone on before, while those of us left behind will miss her terribly. She was born February 26, 1936, in the Richland Creek area to Bill and Ora (Frazier) Chisum.
She was a loving wife, mother, sister, and aunt. But, to most she was simply Granny. She was loved by all that knew her.
One thing no one could ever dispute about Eunice is she was a hard worker. She was a farmer and logger most of her life. She learned farming at an early age from her daddy. Granny liked to tell stories about tracking her dad through the woods and how he would boast, "She could find [him] anywhere".
Eunice married Lowell Freeman in 1951 and they began their family and their logging business. Eunice logged with mules until the couple were able to purchase their first skidder in the early 70's. From that modest start they were able to grow a business to support not only their family, but their community, their church, and others in need.
After Lowell passed, Eunice married Don Pack in 1993 and they further expanded their poultry and cattle operation. Through it all, Eunice found time to be a loving and nurturing mother and granny.
Eunice worked just as diligently for the Lord as she did for her family. She was instrumental in helping to build several churches throughout the years. She and husband Don were proud members of Victory Assembly of God church in Atkins. Even though she lost the ability to be active and do the things she loved, her faith in God never faltered. Eunice stayed strong in her love for the Lord and her family.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 39 years, Lowell Freeman; 3 brothers Alvie, James, and Johnny Lee Chisum; a sister Ollie Fay Freeman; a grandson Logan Pack; and twin great grandsons Everette and Eli Fox.
She is survived by her husband of 30 years Don Pack; three sons, Ira and Patsy Freeman of Atkins, James Freeman of Conway, Brent and Dawn Pack of Atkins; three daughters, Pat Housley of Hector, Phyllis and John Allen of Nogo, and Sheila Pack of Alred; a sister Alta and Harl Ledford of Hector; grandchildren Twilla, Paul, Charles, DeShea, Jeremy, Ashley, Josh, Matt, Morgan, Tara, Kyle, Cassie, and Maddie; 19 great-grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren.
The funeral service is 10:00 a.m., Thursday, May 30, 2024, at the Shinn Chapel, with the Rev. Mike Chisum officiating. Burial will be in Walnut Grove Cemetery under the direction of Shinn Funeral Service of Russellville.
The family will receive friends from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., Wednesday at the funeral home.
Pallbearers are Paul Willcutt, Charles and Tyler Brashear, Jacob Hendrix, Ronald Standridge and Josh Workman.
Honorary Pallbearers are Tony and Manuel Garrison, Billy Chisum, Don and Steve Freeman, Roy and Troy Chisum, Matt Winters and Ricky Hendrix.
To those of us left behind: as Granny would say, "Take your time, but hurry every chance you get!"
