Ernestine Eubanks Wallis Obituary
She passed away Friday, November 5, 2021 at home.
Born Ernestine Eubanks June 2, 1927 in Pine Bluff, she was the daughter of Ernest and Clara Belle Perkins Eubanks.
Mrs. Wallis was reared and received her early education in Pine Bluff, graduating from Pine Bluff High School.

After working a few years for Arkansas Power and Light, Mrs. Wallis worked alongside her husband at Wallis and Wallis advertising from 1963 until he passed away March 25, 2005.

Mrs. Wallis also appreciated birds and beautiful flowers. She enjoyed photography, particularly of wildflowers.
Along with her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her two brothers, Stafford and Jim Eubanks.
