|
|
||
| WHEREAS, A full and generous life drew to a close with the | ||
| passing of Edna Nell Burch Black on December 31, 2018, at the age of | ||
| 90; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The daughter of Georgia Winifred Cavender and Harry | ||
| Louis Burch, the former Eddie Burch was born in Miami, Arizona, on | ||
| July 24, 1928; her parents died when she was young, and she was then | ||
| raised by her grandmother, Edna Hobbs Cavender; she and her sister, | ||
| Lorraine, grew up in the Hill Country town of Rio Frio with their | ||
| cousin, Edna; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mrs. Black later moved to El Paso, where she met the | ||
| love of her life, Jack Jennings Black; they married and became the | ||
| proud parents of five children, Winifred, Jackie, Roy, Joyce, and | ||
| Iris, and Mrs. Black devoted herself to her family and their home in | ||
| the lower valley of El Paso; well-suited to the role of rancher's | ||
| wife, she was an excellent horsewoman and faced the challenges of | ||
| rural life with grace and strength; she and Mr. Black shared nearly | ||
| five decades of marriage, and following his death in 1995, she | ||
| settled in Keller to be with her daughters; and | ||
| WHEREAS, With the passing years, Mrs. Black knew the joy of | ||
| welcoming into her treasured family 20 grandchildren, Jack, Jim, | ||
| Richard, Kira, Cameron, Carrie, Cristi, Chris, Patrick, Jessie, | ||
| Jared, Royce, Jack, Jami, Danny, Tamara, Jerimy, Leah, Scott, and | ||
| Todd, as well as 38 great-grandchildren and 7 | ||
| great-great-grandchildren; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Although Eddie Black is deeply missed, those who | ||
| held her dear will forever remember the kindness and love she | ||
| brought into their lives; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Edna Nell Burch Black | ||
| and extend sincere sympathy to her loved ones; 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 Edna Nell | ||
| Burch Black. | ||
