| H.R. No. 1912 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The 100th birthday of an esteemed Texan is indeed a | ||
| special occasion, and Elizabeth Williams of Rains County celebrated | ||
| this significant milestone in her life on December 22, 2014, to the | ||
| delight of her family and friends; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Born in the Willow Springs community in 1914, the | ||
| former Elizabeth Armstrong is the daughter of Russell and Mattie | ||
| Armstrong; the sixth of seven children, she helped out on the family | ||
| farm by picking cotton and performing other chores in her youth; | ||
| after moving to Dallas, she worked at Skillern's Drugstore for a few | ||
| years; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Returning to Rains County, she was joined in | ||
| matrimony to Earl Williams, and the couple shared a fulfilling | ||
| relationship until his passing in 1986; for many years, | ||
| Mrs. Williams has been a valued member of Emory Church of Christ; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, A cancer survivor, Mrs. Williams now enjoys good | ||
| health, and she credits crossword puzzles with keeping her mind | ||
| sharp; she also carefully reads every page of the Rains County | ||
| Leader, and she takes pleasure in cheering for the Dallas Cowboys, | ||
| although she waxes a little nostalgic for the team's Tom Landry | ||
| days; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Elizabeth Williams is a source of tremendous | ||
| inspiration to many people, and in sharing the experience gained | ||
| through a century of life well lived, she provides a precious gift | ||
| of wisdom that benefits all who are fortunate enough to know her; | ||
| now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Elizabeth Williams on her 100th | ||
| birthday and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued | ||
| happiness; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mrs. Williams as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
