Ina Alice Hunt

Ina was born January 1, 1920 to Robert McCubbin and Mrytle (Mercer) McCubbin in Eagleton, Arkansas. Ina was 94 years, 7 months and 15 days old.

Ina worked in various jobs in Waldron before her retirement in 1973. At the time of her retirement, she began to focus all her attention to her family. She loved to cook for them. When she couldn't work outside, Ina loved to do piece quilts. Everyone of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren have a quilt made with love just for them. Growing up in the depression years, Ina was taught to grow, can and freeze all the veggies out of her garden. She would worry how would her family eat in the winter months if she didn't have her garden. Working in her garden and her flower beds brought great joy to Ina. She was well known and even recognized at the Waldron Housing Authority as "Yard of the Month".
