on August 25, 2022, at the age of 66; and | ||
WHEREAS, The former Mollie Smith was born to Euel and Marlena | ||
Smith in Bronte on June 4, 1956, and she grew up with the | ||
companionship of seven siblings, Barbara, James, Mike, Patricia, | ||
Gary, Richard, and Steve; she moved with her family to White Oak, | ||
where she later graduated from White Oak High School, and she went | ||
on to earn an associate's degree from Kilgore College; and | ||
WHEREAS, On November 19, 1976, she married Paul Upton, with | ||
whom she shared a fulfilling union that spanned more than 45 years; | ||

her family grow to include her two grandchildren, Luke and Chase; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Mrs. Upton enjoyed a rewarding career as a letter | ||
carrier for the United States Postal Service for more than 25 years, | ||
and she made many lasting friendships with her colleagues and | ||

with her family, and cheering for her children as they played | ||
various sports; a woman of deep faith, she was a valued congregant | ||
of White Oak United Methodist Church; and | ||
WHEREAS, Although her loss is difficult to bear, Mollie Upton | ||
leaves behind numerous friends and loved ones whose lives are far | ||
richer for having known her, and they will forever hold her close in | ||
their hearts; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature | ||
hereby pay tribute to the memory of Mollie Jeanette Upton and extend | ||
sincere condolences to all who mourn her passing; and, be it further | ||
