of Clinton, AR

September 21, 1923 - May 14, 2020

Kathryn Maureen Eubank, 96, of Clinton, Arkansas was born on September 21, 1923 to Thomas and Lillian (Lampe) Harrold on a farm near Palmer, Iowa and passed from this life on May 14, 2020 at her home.

Kathryn married William (Bill) Eubank on July 2, 1946. Together they raised their six children: Ellen (Paul) Wood of Clinton, AR; Lynn (Karen) Eubank of Ames, IA; Steve (Kathi) Eubank of Hot Springs Village, AR; Mark (Cindy) Eubank of Boise, ID; John Eubank; and Kent (Joni) Eubank of Coralville, IA.

Kathryn and Bill moved to the Alread, Arkansas community in 1982 after Bill's retirement from the John Deere Experimental Farm in Waterloo, Iowa. They soon became involved in the Alread community by running the concession stand for the high school basketball games and assisting in county elections. They were active members of St Jude Thaddeus Catholic Church in Clinton, Arkansas and were instrumental in the planning and building of the new sanctuary where Kathryn was church secretary and taught religious education classes for many years.

Throughout her life, Kathryn distinguished herself as a teacher. She began her teaching career in a one-room schoolhouse in Pocahontas County, Iowa; taught elementary school in Mingo, Iowa; and continued her love of education in the classroom, at church, and in the community until just a few years ago. She joined the Literacy Council where she taught adults to read, taught English as a second language and read to children at the Van Buren county Special School.

After Bill's passing Kathryn bought a small house in town and soon became involved in many more community activities. Kathryn enjoyed traveling and visiting friends and relatives across the county as well as taking bus trips and cruises both in the U.S. and abroad.

Kathryn is preceded in death by her beloved husband of over 50 years, Bill, one son, John Eubank; her parents; and five siblings Verna Olsen, Faber Harrold, Berniece Kaiser, Owen Harrold, and Cletus Harrold.

Left to cherish her memory along with her children are nine grandchildren and their spouses, 18 great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, and many other relatives and friends, especially her special angel, Cici (Joaquin) Hernandez.

A memorial service will be held in her honor at St. Jude's Catholic Church in Clinton, Arkansas at 10:30am. on Monday, September 21, 2020. Rosary will be at 6:30p.m. on Sunday, September 20, 2020 at the church.
