	H.R. No. 1626



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, A full and generous life drew to a close with the
	passing of Barbara Hart Nicholson of Abilene on January 23, 2017, at
	the age of 79; and
	WHEREAS, The youngest of five children, the former Barbara
	Hart was born to H. E. and Charlotte Hart in Dallas on March 23,
	1937; she graduated from Abilene High School in 1955 and
	subsequently earned a bachelor's degree in business education from
	Abilene Christian College; while an undergraduate, she met the love
	of her life, Randy Nicholson, and they were joined in matrimony on
	November 18, 1957; over the course of nearly six decades of
	marriage, the couple were blessed with a fine family that included
	their daughter, Randa, their son-in-law, Jeff, and their grandson,
	Braden; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Nicholson served as an instructor of typing,
	bookkeeping, and shorthand at Anson High School before being hired
	as chair of the business department at O. H. Cooper High School in
	Abilene, where she taught for five years; after the birth of her
	daughter in 1966, she devoted herself full-time to her home and her
	family; and
	WHEREAS, A gifted vocalist, Ms. Nicholson performed in vocal
	ensembles throughout high school and college, and she later sang
	with the Abilene Christian University Alumni Chorus and the choir
	at her local church; she also took great delight in painting, and
	her artworks became cherished gifts to her loved ones; in addition,
	she expressed her deep patriotism by organizing the Helping Our
	Heroes ministry, which ships care packages to members of the U.S.
	armed forces overseas, and she gave generously of her time
	coordinating luncheons for widows and widowers at Highland,
	University, and Oldham Lane Churches of Christ; and
	WHEREAS, Barbara Nicholson was a devoted wife and mother and
	a beloved member of her community, and though this vibrant,
	gracious woman will be deeply missed, she leaves behind a record of
	service that her loved ones can remember with pride; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Barbara Hart
	Nicholson and extend sincere condolences to the members of her
	family and to her many friends; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of
	Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Barbara
	Nicholson.

	Lambert
