Albert Lipscomb Ebaugh, M.D., aged 76, died peacefully in his home surrounded by family on July 26, 2014. Dr. Ebaugh spent his childhood in the Texas Hill Country, both in San Marcos and in Austin where he attended Austin High School and the University of Texas.

He received his M.D. degree from Baylor College of Medicine in 1963, served in the U.S. Public Health Service in both Boston and San Francisco and returned to Baylor for his residency in psychiatry.

Over his 40 year span as a psychiatrist in Houston, he practiced at Methodist Hospital, St. Luke's, Kelsey Seybold Clinic and the Harris County Psychiatric Hospital as well as many years in private practice. After serving as President of the Houston Psychiatric Society, he retired in 2004. Dr. Ebaugh was a participant at Amazing Place for three and one half years, a memory day care facility.

In 1973, shortly after his divorce, on a Sunday afternoon trip to the little train at the Houston Zoo with his sons, Nelson, aged five, and James, aged three, he met Helen Rose Fuchs, a professor of Sociology at The University of Houston. She is the daughter of Arnold and Agnes Fuchs of Olfen, Texas, where she grew up with her four brothers, James, Tom, Roy and Bob Fuchs and her sister, Sister Deborah Ann Fuchs, CDP. Arnold died in 2000 and Agnes, aged 96 this August, resides in Sagecrest Nursing Home in San Angelo. 18 months after meeting, Albert and Helen Rose were married in the chapel on UH campus and spent almost 40 years together. In 1977, their daughter, Sarah, was born and four years later their son, Stephen. The family now includes four grandchildren. Maureen, aged seven, and Neil, aged six, were born to Nelson and his wife, Grace and live in Houston. William, aged three, and Elizabeth, four months, are children of Stephen and wife, Eryn, and make Houston their home as does Albert and Helen Rose's daughter, Sarah. In 2009, James married Dorothy Wawrose and now lives in Des Moines, Iowa. All four children, spouses and grandchildren are part of the large, extended Fuchs family that has roots on the family farm in Olfen, Texas, 30 miles east of San Angelo. The extended family now numbers 49 and gets together at Christmas-time. Albert and Helen Rose did not miss one of the 41 years they were together celebrating Christmas on the farm and the children and grandchildren missed very few of them. The fact that Albert chose to be buried in the St. Boniface Cemetery, a country resting place under blue skies and surrounded by cotton fields, is testimony to his love and respect for the Fuchs family, as well as his love of nature and quiet country places. His only other wish is that Helen Rose rest beside him for eternity so they have joint plots there. Albert is survived by his one brother, Irvin Ebaugh, M.D., also a retired psychiatrist who practiced in both Dallas and Aspen, Colorado. Over the past 20 years, Albert and his wife, Helen Rose, travelled to many parts of the world and they shared many memorable adventures. Albert was a life-long Episcopalian and recently joined Grace Episcopal Church where both he and Helen Rose loved the lively services, the small, warm community and the social outreach of the church. His memorial wake (for the sharing of memories and visitation with the family) at 7 p.m. on Monday, July 28, will be officiated by Sister Deborah Ann Fuchs. The Eucharistic celebration of Albert's life will take place at ll a.m. on Tuesday, July 29. Both services will be held at Grace Episcopal Church, Houston. The graveside service and burial will be at 10 a.m. Thursday in St. Boniface Cemetery, Olfen, Texas, under the direction of Lange Funeral Home of Ballinger.
