||
WHEREAS, A life lived with joy and purpose drew to a close | ||
with the passing of Noble Grace Cammack of Longview on January 11, | ||
2021, at the age of 99; and | ||
WHEREAS, The son of Claude and Sadie Cammack, Noble Cammack | ||
was born in Brookeland in Sabine County on January 14, 1921; he grew | ||
up with four siblings, Stella, Price, Joe Bill, and Jimmie, near | ||
land granted to his maternal ancestors by the Republic of Texas | ||
almost a century before; during World War II, he served his country | ||
in the U.S. Navy; he graduated from Kilgore College and moved to | ||
Longview to help his mother with her restaurant and boarding house; | ||
after a few years of employment with Eastman Kodak, he embarked on a | ||
33-year career in accounting with Lone Star Steel Company in 1950; | ||
his retirement did not last, as he then took a new job in the City of | ||
Longview's purchasing department; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Cammack married the love of his life, the former | ||
Juanita Gossett, on April 8, 1950; they were blessed with four | ||
children, Kerry, Bruce, Stephen, and Teresa; later, he became | ||
"Bobo" to 13 treasured grandchildren and step-grandchildren, Alan, | ||
Stuart, Alex, Cole, Blake, Brittney, Kendall, Casey, Matthew, | ||
Jonathan, Brandon, Carolina, and Hailey, as well as 14 | ||
great-grandchildren; he served as a deacon and elder of First | ||
Christian Church, and he and his wife were faithful members of the | ||
Cornerstone Sunday school class; in addition, he volunteered for | ||
Meals on Wheels; he enjoyed gardening and traveling with his wife, | ||
and they shared a fulfilling marriage of more than six decades until | ||
her passing; in his last years, he treasured many friendships with | ||
fellow residents of Buckner Westminster Place; the most gracious of | ||
gentlemen, he always had a kind word for others, and he offered his | ||
signature white handkerchief to anyone who might need it; he | ||
continued to proudly stand for the Pledge of Allegiance and the | ||
National Anthem, even when relying on a walker; and | ||
WHEREAS, Although Noble Cammack is greatly missed by those he | ||
left behind, they will forever cherish their memories of his | ||
thoughtful, courteous ways and deep integrity; now, therefore, be | ||
it | ||
RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
hereby pay tribute to the life of Noble Grace Cammack and extend | ||
sincere condolences to his family and friends; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of | ||
Representatives and Senate adjourn this day, they do so in memory of | ||
Noble Grace Cammack. |
