WHEREAS, The 100th birthday of an esteemed Texan is truly | ||
cause for celebration, and Juanita Musgrove Fortenberry Guidry is | ||
reaching that impressive milestone on June 6, 2019; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born in Votaw in 1919, the former Juanita Musgrove | ||

work ethic early in life; at the age of 18, she married Thirston | ||
Thomas Fortenberry, a carpenter and itinerant preacher; and | ||

for sale, and at the age of 40, she took her first job outside the | ||
home; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Fortenberry died in the early 1980s, and | ||
Mrs. Guidry later remarried and was widowed again with the passing | ||
of her second husband; she now lives in Teague, delighting in the | ||
life she shares with her daughter and her family; and | ||
WHEREAS, Juanita Guidry has witnessed a panorama of change | ||
over the course of a century, and she has met life's challenges and | ||
opportunities with dignity and determination, earning the deep | ||
admiration of all who are privileged to know her; now, therefore, be | ||
it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
