WHEREAS, Christy Ann Jackson of Mexia passed away on November | ||

many happy memories they shared with her; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born in Fort Worth on April 20, 1957, to Louise and | ||
David McClurkan, the former Christy McClurkan grew up with the | ||
companionship of her twin sister, Cindy; a graduate of Mexia High | ||
School and a proud Black Cat, she went on to earn an associate | ||
degree in horticulture from Tarrant County Junior College before | ||
taking her first job at Maden's Flowers; and | ||
WHEREAS, On June 4, 1977, she exchanged wedding vows with the | ||
love of her life, Ivan Jackson Jr.; the couple went into business | ||
managing auto stores with her parents-in-law and later opened | ||
Jackson's True Value, a hardware store that grew to be one of the | ||
town's most popular retailers; along the way, her naturally | ||
outgoing disposition and desire to help people led to her | ||
involvement in numerous civic associations; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Jackson was the devoted mother of a son, Lance, | ||
and she deeply cherished her daughter-in-law, Stephanie, and her | ||
grandson, Fletch; she and her husband enjoyed staying at their | ||
lodge in Tin Cup, Colorado, with their co-owner, Scott Mack, and | ||
they welcomed a number of friends and relatives as their guests | ||
there; passionate about gardening, she helped beautify the "Jackson | ||
Row" area in Forest Glade with plants and flowers, and she was also | ||
fond of fishing and watching sunsets and sunrises; among the many | ||
things that endeared her to everyone around her were her radiant | ||
smile and her hugs; and | ||
WHEREAS, Christy Jackson embraced life to the fullest, and | ||
those who were privileged to know her will forever remember her | ||
joyous spirit and her tremendous warmth, grace, and kindness; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Christy Ann Jackson | ||
and extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to her | ||

Stephanie; to her grandson, Elliott Fletcher Jackson; to her | ||
mother, Louise McClurkan McMains; to her sister, Cindy Williford, | ||
and her husband, Glenn; to her stepbrothers, Jimmy McMains and Mike | ||
McMains; 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 Christy Ann | ||
Jackson. | ||
