	H.R. No. 73



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The untimely passing of Kori Freeman Crow of Austin
	on September 21, 2021, at the age of 43, has brought a heartbreaking
	loss to her family, friends, and colleagues; and
	WHEREAS, Born on March 14, 1978, in Landstuhl, Germany, to
	Mike and Starr Freeman, the former Kori Freeman grew up with the
	companionship of a sister, Lacey; during her childhood, she moved
	with her family to El Paso and then to Central Texas, where she
	graduated from Round Rock High School in 1996; while at Round Rock
	High, she served as editor of the school newspaper and had a
	memorable stint as the school's dragon mascot; she also
	participated in a number of local political campaigns; and
	WHEREAS, From the age of eight, when she idolized
	then-President Ronald Reagan, she had set her sights on a career in
	politics; she majored in communications at Concordia University
	Texas in Austin, and she went on to meet her future husband, Chad
	Crow, while running her first political campaign; the couple were
	married on May 26, 2002, at a ceremony in Round Rock; together with
	her husband, Ms. Crow founded a political consulting firm called KC
	Strategies that has worked on more than 300 campaigns over the
	course of two decades; in 2017, she was honored with the Texas
	Blazing Star Award from the Women's Chamber of Commerce of Texas,
	and that same year, she was recognized as one of the 40 best
	campaign professionals under age 40 by the American Association of
	Political Consultants; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. Crow and her husband shared a love of travel
	that led them to live in six different countries and to visit at
	least 60 others; despite the demands of her work, she was able to
	have many adventures in far-flung places, which included earning a
	culinary arts degree in Argentina, becoming a certified master
	scuba instructor in Honduras, and attending an audience in Rome
	with Pope John Paul II; in 2019, the Crows were blessed with a son,
	Francis, while they were living on Vancouver Island in Canada; and
	WHEREAS, Kori Crow lived a rich and vibrant life, and she will
	forever be remembered with deep affection by all who were fortunate
	enough to know her; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
	Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory
	of Kori Freeman Crow and extend heartfelt sympathy to the members of
	her family: to her husband, Chad Crow; to her son, Francis Crow; to
	her parents, Mike and Starr Freeman; to her sister, Lacey Eaton, and
	her husband, Bill; to her niece, Samantha Davis, and nephew, Toby
	Eaton; to her father- and mother-in-law, Joe and Pat Crow; to her
	uncles and aunts, Pat and Cindy Keith and Joey and Norma Keith; to
	her cousin, Kelly Higdon; and to her 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 Kori Crow.
