In addition to Thursday, September 17, being North Texas Giving Day, it will also be the day on which Ebby Halliday Acer‘s 104 years of life will be celebrated at Park Cities Baptist. The service will begin at 3:00 p.m.
If you can’t make the service, then consider donating to one of the nonprofits that Ebby requested — Ebby’s Place at the YW, The Ebby House at Juliette Fowler Communities, Happy Hill Farm and Academy, or the charity of your choice.
A side story: In her final years, Ebby had a “catty” roommate named Lucy. Actually, Lucy was a feline that moved into Ebby’s home with Hilaria Harris, who became the centenarian’s devoted caretaker about three years ago.
As a result, “Lucy was a benevolent dictator and brought much delight to Ebby’s days.”
According to Ebby’s Cody Baker, Lucy was the “most spoiled cat in the world” and she equally spoiled Ebby with love. Lucy like the rest of the world is now trying to adjust to life without Ebby.
