	WHEREAS, Cherished memories remain to comfort the loved ones
	of Betty Ann Peden of Hondo, who passed away on April 26, 2016, at
	the age of 75; and
	WHEREAS, A native of San Antonio, the former Ann Howard was
	born on February 10, 1941, to David and Minnie Howard; continuing a
	family tradition that reaches back four generations, she pursued a
	career as a pharmacist, and after moving to Hondo, she purchased
	Windrow Drug Store and operated it as Peden Rexall for some four
	decades alongside her husband, Robert Peden; she also went on to
	serve members of her profession as president of the Texas State
	Board of Pharmacy; and
	WHEREAS, Earlier in her life, Mrs. Peden worked as a
	substitute teacher at the high school and middle school levels; she
	had a lively interest in politics as well, having played an
	instrumental role in the formation of the Medina County Republican
	Party; she was a county chair for over 30 years and a longtime
	member of the Texas Republican County Chairman's Association, and
	she taught seminars all over the state on the responsibilities of a
	county chair and various aspects of election law; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Peden was also a highly regarded member of her
	community of faith at First Methodist Church, where she and her
	husband sang in the choir, and she was a member and officer of
	several organizations, among them the Hondo Garden Club and Sigma
	Tau Sorority; above all else, she was a loving wife to her husband
	of 54 years, a devoted mother to her sons, Scott and James, and a
	doting grandmother of four grandchildren, Ashley, Robert, David,
	and Ann; and
	WHEREAS, Admired for her intelligence, her civic engagement,
	and her kind and thoughtful nature, Ann Peden will be deeply missed,
	and she will forever hold a special place in the hearts of those who
	were fortunate enough to know her; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Betty Ann Peden and
	extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to her
	husband, Bob Peden; to her sons, Scott Peden and his wife, Kari, and
	James Peden and his wife, Kim; to her grandchildren, Ashley,
	Robert, David, and Ann Peden; to her sister, Rebecca Harris, and her
	husband, Frank; to her brother, David Lee Howard; and to her other
	relatives and 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 Betty Ann
	Peden.
