R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, A rich and purposeful life drew to a close with the
passing of Karon Kaye Tinsley Goolsby of Katy on June 19, 2023, at
the age of 73; and
WHEREAS, Born in Ruston, Louisiana, on April 3, 1950, to
Harold and Sarah Tinsley, the former Kaye Tinsley grew up in
Arcadia, Louisiana, with the companionship of two siblings, Renee
and Harold; she graduated from Arcadia High School before earning a
degree in business administration from Louisiana Tech University,
where she met her future husband, Gary Goolsby; the pair exchanged
wedding vows on April 26, 1975, and spent more than 45 years of
their married life in Katy; they shared in the joy of raising a son,
Greg, and were further blessed with two grandchildren, Preston and
Avery; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Goolsby immersed herself in civic life and
became an enthusiastic supporter of the Katy Independent School
District and other local organizations; she served on the boards of
the Memorial Parkway Community Association and the Kelliwood
Women's Association, along with numerous other boards and
committees; she also contributed to her congregation at the First
United Methodist Church of Katy in a variety of capacities,
including as the first female lay leader in the church's 100-year
history; and
WHEREAS, A staunch supporter of the Republican Party,
Mrs. Goolsby held leadership positions with the Mason Creek
Republican Women, the West Houston Republican Women, the Republican
Women's Club of Katy, and the Greater Katy Area Republicans, as well
as with the Texas Federation of Republican Women; she was highly
respected for her work in behalf of major political campaigns, and
she served as a delegate to many Republican state conventions; and
WHEREAS, Although Kaye Goolsby is deeply missed by those she
left behind, they will forever remember her steadfast dedication to
her family, her faith, her community, and her ideals; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of
Karon Kaye Tinsley Goolsby and extend deepest sympathy to all those
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 Kaye
Goolsby.
