H.R. No. 2624 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The passing of Lucille Louie Gee of Houston on April | ||
29, 2017, at the age of 91, has brought great sadness to the family | ||
and many friends of this vibrant and gracious woman; and | ||
WHEREAS, The former Lucille Louie was born on March 9, 1926, | ||
in Chicago, Illinois, and grew up with four sisters, Annette, Ruth, | ||
Jeanette, and Sue, and four brothers, Bernard, Leonard, Harry, and | ||
Milton; she graduated from Englewood High School as a member of the | ||
National Honor Society and exchanged wedding vows with Wallace Gee | ||
in 1947; she moved with her husband to Houston so that he could join | ||
his brothers in a business venture; the couple shared nearly four | ||
decades of marriage until Mr. Gee's death and were the parents of | ||
three sons, Kent, Robert, and Paul; with the passing years, | ||
Mrs. Gee took special delight in doting on her granddaughter, | ||
Amelia; and | ||
WHEREAS, Active in her community, Mrs. Gee was involved with | ||
the Chinese American Citizens Alliance and its Miss Chinatown | ||
Pageant; she was also a board member of the Gee Family Association, | ||
a charter member of the Chinese Baptist Church, and a valued | ||
congregant at the Southwest Chinese Baptist Church; and | ||
WHEREAS, Candid and forthright, Mrs. Gee was equally admired | ||
for her kindness and generosity, and she found great joy in helping | ||
others; she often drove friends on their errands and to doctor's | ||
appointments, and she enjoyed taking her nieces shopping for | ||
special occasions; moreover, she was revered among her | ||
contemporaries as the unofficial "food critic" of Chinatown; and | ||
WHEREAS, Lucille Gee led a life that was extraordinarily rich | ||
in love, laughter, and friendship, and her memory will forever | ||
light the hearts of all those who held her dear; now, therefore, be | ||
it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Lucille Louie Gee and | ||
extend deepest sympathy 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 Lucille | ||
Gee. | ||
