| In Memory | ||
| of | ||
| Nina Sinclair | ||
| WHEREAS, A full and generous life drew to a close with the | ||
| passing of Nina Lee Green Sinclair of Lubbock on May 4, 2022, at | ||
| the age of 96; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The daughter of John Duff Green and Myra Kelly | ||
| Green, the former Nina Green was born in Roaring Springs on May | ||
| 24, 1925; she grew up on the Greenland stock farm on the banks of | ||
| the Tongue River with the company of two brothers, Mervin and | ||
| John, and four sisters, Mary, Sue, Ruth, and Nell; baptized at | ||
| Roaring Springs First Baptist Church in 1936, she was guided by | ||
| her faith ever after; she graduated from Roaring Springs High | ||
| School, and during World War II, she relocated to Lubbock to work | ||
| as an artist; she hand-colored portraits at Koen's Studio, and | ||
| later, she was employed as a photographer and designer for Texas | ||
| Tech University's La Ventana yearbook; and | ||
| WHEREAS, On January 18, 1946, she married her childhood | ||
| sweetheart, Louis Avery Sinclair, and the couple settled in | ||
| Abernathy; they were blessed with three children, David, Terri, | ||
| and Jerry Don, and Mrs. Sinclair dedicated herself to her home | ||
| and family; while supporting her husband in his career with | ||
| Southwestern Public Service Company, she also encouraged her | ||
| children to achieve their full potential, both in school and | ||
| through their involvement in such activities as 4-H, FFA, and | ||
| athletics; her fiercely protective nature prompted Mr. Sinclair | ||
| to give her the nickname "Ma Bear"; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Sinclairs moved to Lubbock in 1972; through | ||
| the years, their treasured family grew to include many | ||
| grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who fondly called Mrs. | ||
| Sinclair "Sugar"; she was preceded in death by her beloved | ||
| husband in 2009; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Deeply devoted to her faith and her family, Nina | ||
| Sinclair set an inspiring example of dignity, integrity, and | ||
| determination, and she will be remembered with admiration and | ||
| affection by all who held her dear; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the memory of Nina Lee Green | ||
| Sinclair and extend sincere sympathy to her loved ones: to her | ||
| children, David Sinclair and his wife, Connie, Terri Guy and her | ||
| husband, Dan, and Jerry Don Sinclair and his wife, Jaki; to her | ||
| grandchildren, Darci Sinclair, Duff Sinclair and his wife, Billy | ||
| Jo, and Chance Cantwell and his wife, Valerie; to her | ||
| great-grandchildren, Dylan and Dixon Sinclair and Colt and | ||
| Archer Cantwell; and to her many other relatives and friends; | ||
| and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for her family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns | ||
| this day, it do so in memory of Nina Sinclair. | ||
