| H.R. No. 2275 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, A full and productive life drew to a close with the | ||
| passing of Barbara Dunn Kuhl of Houston on December 14, 2016, at the | ||
| age of 94; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The daughter of John and Helen Dunn, the former | ||
| Barbara Dunn was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on April 26, 1922; | ||
| she grew up as the adored baby sister in a family of six children, | ||
| and she enjoyed frequent trips to New York for plays, films, and | ||
| other cultural events; coming of age during World War II, she did | ||
| her part for the nation by working for the War Production Board | ||
| while completing her education at Fisher College; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In 1950, she married the love of her life, Philip | ||
| Kuhl, a U.S. Air Force officer; his assignment to the Pentagon took | ||
| them to Washington, D.C., and while living there, they became the | ||
| parents of two children, John and Pam; the family traveled | ||
| extensively during Colonel Kuhl's career, living in numerous | ||
| countries in the Far East, and Mrs. Kuhl's grace and social skills | ||
| were of great benefit as she supported her husband in his | ||
| responsibilities; following his retirement, they settled in Fort | ||
| Worth and embarked on careers in real estate; Mrs. Kuhl quickly | ||
| distinguished herself as one of the city's top brokers; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mrs. Kuhl was dedicated to her family above all | ||
| else, and following her husband's death in 2010, she moved to | ||
| Houston to be closer to her children; ever cheerful and vibrant, she | ||
| continued to make many new friends, and her elegance and style added | ||
| extra flair to gatherings at the Four Leaf Towers residential | ||
| complex where she lived; she was a devout Catholic and a source of | ||
| wisdom and inspiration to those in her circle; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Although Barbara Kuhl will be deeply missed, those | ||
| who were privileged to share in her love and friendship will forever | ||
| remember the joy and kindness she brought into their lives; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Barbara Dunn Kuhl | ||
| and extend sincere condolences to all who mourn her passing; 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 | ||
| Kuhl. | ||
