| H.R. No. 438 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The 100th birthday of an esteemed Texan is indeed | ||
| cause for celebration, and Irene Hirt of Midland marked this | ||
| momentous milestone in her life on January 4, 2017, in the company | ||
| of family and friends; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Born in Cameron in 1917, to parents of German | ||
| descent, she grew up on a cotton farm with her twin sister and six | ||
| other siblings; she married the love of her life, Edward Hirt, in | ||
| San Angelo on September 27, 1938, and the couple moved to Midland in | ||
| 1961; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, Mrs. Hirt is the treasured matriarch of a | ||
| fine family that has grown to include 3 daughters, Glenda, Joanne, | ||
| and Irene, and 2 sons-in-law, Hugh and George, as well as 9 | ||
| grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and 11 | ||
| great-great-grandchildren; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mrs. Hirt enjoys playing dominoes, listening to | ||
| classic country music, and sharing stories, including her | ||
| recollections of singer Ernest Tubb in the days before he became | ||
| famous; when asked the secret to longevity, the chocolate-chip | ||
| aficionado reveals that "A nap and cookie a day keep the doctor | ||
| away"; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Blessed with a devoted family and admiring friends, | ||
| Irene Hirt has long been a source of joy to all who are fortunate | ||
| enough to know her, and it is a pleasure to honor her for having | ||
| joined an elite group of Texans who can look back on 100 years of | ||
| life well lived; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Irene Hirt on her 100th birthday | ||
| and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, | ||
| be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mrs. Hirt as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
