Carolyn and Robert Eakin will celebrate their 60th Wedding Anniversary by affirming their vows with family and friends at the First Baptist Church of Mount Pleasant, S.C., on February 17, 2024.
They were married on February 15, 1964, in the Frost Chapel of the First Baptist Church of Shreveport, La.
Robert was born in Center, Texas, on September 26, 1938, under the care of Dr. L. S. Oates at the Center Sanitarium. He is the oldest son of Robbie and Hursel Eakin. His family attended the First Baptist Church of Center under the pastorship of Dr. Carroll Chadwick.
Center provided many fond memories of individuals and families: the Palmers, the Henrys, the Ballards, the Bradshaws, the Davises, Emma Fountain, Dr. Hurst and Mrs. Iva, the Truitts, the Jacobs, the “Tamale Man” on Saturdays near the Rio Theater and more.
The Eakin family moved to Dallas in 1950.
