||
| WHEREAS, Betty Rice of De Leon retired from Farmers and | ||
| Merchants Bank on December 31, 2014, concluding an outstanding | ||
| career with that institution that spanned nearly six decades; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The former Betty McCrary graduated from De Leon High | ||
| School in 1956; during her junior year, she served as school | ||
| librarian and was active in the library club, activities that | ||
| developed the flair for organization and attention to detail that | ||
| would serve her well throughout her career; shortly after | ||
| graduation, she began working at Farmers and Merchants Bank as a | ||
| bookkeeper; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Throughout her time with the bank, Mrs. Rice saw | ||
| many changes to technology and procedures; her responsibilities | ||
| grew as paper registers were replaced by computers, and increasing | ||
| regulations afforded her the chance to shine as a quick learner in a | ||
| complex industry; her skill and adaptability led to many promotions | ||
| over the years, including time as president and chief operating | ||
| officer; during her last year at the bank, she worked primarily as a | ||
| consultant; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In all her endeavors, Mrs. Rice enjoys the love and | ||
| support of her sons, Stephen and Michael, from her marriage of 45 | ||
| years to Robert Rice, who passed away in 2003; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Betty Rice's hard work and commitment to excellence | ||
| have greatly benefited her coworkers and clients at Farmers and | ||
| Merchants Bank, and she may reflect with pride on her many | ||
| achievements as she embarks on her well-deserved retirement; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Betty Rice on her retirement from | ||
| Farmers and Merchants Bank and extend to her sincere best wishes for | ||
| the future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mrs. Rice as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
