Brown Books is humbled to have been a part of telling and preserving the story of a true Texas icon. We published Ebby Halliday: The First Lady of Real Estate in 2009, and in recognition of late legend’s life and legacy, we’re saddened yet honored to share memorable images and highlights from her inspiring book.

The memorial service for Ebby Halliday Acers will take place Thursday, Sept. 17, at 3 p.m. at Park Cities Baptist Church; the service will also be live-streamed via CBSDFW.com for those unable to attend. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Ebby’s Place at the YW, The Ebby House at Juliette Fowler Communities, Happy Hill Farm and Academy, or the charity of your choice.
