||
WHEREAS, A full and generous life drew to a close with the | ||
passing of Rebecca Minneweather of Fort Worth on July 24, 2017; and | ||
WHEREAS, One of five children, Becky Minneweather was born in | ||
1954 to Ray and Lillian Minneweather; she grew up in Fort Worth and | ||
attended I. M. Terrell High School, where she was a member of the | ||
iconic marching band; after graduating from Wiley College, she went | ||
on to complete a master's degree in early childhood development at | ||
the University of North Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Minneweather was a kind and caring person, and | ||
she especially loved children and senior citizens; she was employed | ||
for many years at the Sid Richardson Child Care Center for Harris | ||
Methodist Hospital, and she later became a social worker with the | ||
Project Reach Program of the Fort Worth Independent School | ||
District; recently, she had retired from the district after 26 | ||
years of service; and | ||
WHEREAS, For 12 years, Ms. Minneweather served on the board | ||
of the McDonald Community YMCA; she was recognized as a life member | ||
of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, and she was a longtime congregant | ||
of the First Saint John Cathedral; devoted to her numerous | ||
relatives and friends, she brightened their days with her | ||
thoughtfulness and playful, lighthearted ways; moreover, she | ||
provided wise counsel and firm guidance to many, and she knew how to | ||
coax laughter from the despondent and restore good cheer; and | ||
WHEREAS, While her loss is difficult to bear, Becky | ||
Minneweather enriched the lives of all who were fortunate enough to | ||
share in her love and friendship, and she will forever hold a | ||
special place in their hearts; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory | ||
of Rebecca Minneweather and extend sincere sympathy to the members | ||
of her family: to her brother, Freddie Minneweather, and his wife, | ||
Felecia; to her sister, Clara Williams, and her husband, Timothy; | ||
to her nieces and nephews, Christen Williams, Taylor Jordan, Nivea | ||
Turner, Kaelin Harris, Danica Thompson, Dwayne, Tammy, Frita, Ray, | ||
Zarrell, and Detra Minneweather, Derek Powers, Taylor Brooks, and | ||
London and Kayleigh Floyd; and to her many other relatives and | ||
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 Rebecca | ||
Minneweather. |
