||
WHEREAS, Family and friends will forever treasure their | ||
memories of Patricia Ann King of Kemp, who passed away on January | ||
29, 2021, at the age of 78; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born in Dallas on May 28, 1942, to William and Faye | ||
White Huckaby, the former Patricia Ann Huckaby grew up with the | ||
companionship of two siblings, Patrick and Priscilla; after | ||
graduating from W. W. Samuell High School in 1960, she wed the love | ||
of her life, Charles King, in September 1962; the couple went on to | ||
share more than 58 years of marriage, during which time they | ||
devotedly raised two sons, Ty and Chad; in her later years, | ||
Mrs. King welcomed into her family six grandchildren, Trent, Brice, | ||
Trevor, Dylan, Caedyn, and Kenzee, and two great-grandchildren, | ||
Kyler and Blakely; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mrs. King discovered her passion for music at an | ||
early age and began playing the piano at her church as a teenager; | ||
after first working as a secretary for Southern Union Gas Company, | ||
she took a job as a music teacher for the Malakoff Independent | ||
School District in 1976; she began teaching music at Kaufman | ||
Christian School in 2000 and earned recognition as the school's | ||
Teacher of the Year for 2014-2015; over the years, she shared her | ||
gifts as a pianist at the various churches she attended, including | ||
First Baptist Church Kemp, where she had worshipped for the past 13 | ||
years; she also provided private lessons for more than four | ||
decades, touching the lives of hundreds of students; and | ||
WHEREAS, Family was always Mrs. King's greatest joy; she | ||
cherished the time she spent with her grandchildren and | ||
great-grandchildren, and she was fond of Christmas and the | ||
opportunity that it gave her to buy gifts for her loved ones; she | ||
also delighted her family with her cooking, particularly her talent | ||
for making desserts; an extraordinarily selfless woman, she always | ||
prioritized the needs of others ahead of her own; and | ||
WHEREAS, Although Patricia King is profoundly missed, she | ||
will be remembered with lasting affection and admiration by all | ||
those who held her dear; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Patricia Ann King and | ||
extend deepest sympathy to the members of her family: to her sons, | ||
Ty King his wife, Debbie, and Chad King and his wife, Kim; to her | ||
grandchildren, Trent King, Brice King, Trevor King and his wife, | ||
Chancie, Dylan LaFon, Caedyn King, and Kenzee King; to her | ||
great-grandchildren, Kyler King and Blakely King; to her brother, | ||
Patrick Huckaby, and sister, Priscilla Kirby; 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 Patricia | ||
Ann King. | ||
