H.R. No. 2280

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, July 20, 2017, marks the 60th wedding anniversary of
T. C. and Mary Jo Ellard, and this joyous event provides a fitting
opportunity to reflect on their rewarding journey together as
husband and wife; and
WHEREAS, Members of the Class of 1957 at Crozier Technical
High School in Dal1as, Mr. and Mrs. Ellard were high school
sweethearts who exchanged the vows of matrimony the summer
following their graduation; over the years, they have been blessed
with a treasured family that includes their five children, Richard,
Jeff, Andy, Todd, and Angela, as well as their 11 grandchildren,
Elaine, Lindsey, Emily, Nicole, Zak, Manda, Ty, Amy, Abigail, Joe,
and Luke; and
WHEREAS, The Ellards have been valued residents of the
Coppell community for the past 26 years, after living in Dallas for
a decade and in Irving for nearly a quarter century; Mr. Ellard
worked as a machinist, managing the Manda Machine Company, which he
and his wife bought from her parents in 1982 and sold to their sons
Richard, Andy, and Todd in 2002; Mrs. Ellard has devoted herself to
her home and family throughout their marriage, and along with her
husband, she is a greeter at St. Ann Catholic Church; in her spare
time, she enjoys shopping for her grandchildren, and Mr. Ellard can
often be found on the golf course; and
WHEREAS, The six decades of marriage that Mr. and Mrs. Ellard
have shared is eloquent affirmation of the meaning of love and
commitment, and their enduring union is an inspiration to all who
know them; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate T. C. and Mary Jo Ellard on their
60th wedding anniversary and extend to them sincere best wishes for
continued happiness; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the couple as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
