WHEREAS, The 80th birthday of an esteemed Texan is indeed | ||
cause for celebration, and Melba Glyn Hill Cook of Waller reached | ||
that impressive milestone on May 30, 2011; and | ||
WHEREAS, The daughter of Paul Dewey Hill and Lois Moore Hill, | ||
Melba Glyn Hill was born in Mount Vernon in 1931; she married E. Ray | ||
Cook on September 1, 1951, and the couple were blessed with three | ||
children, Mary Alice, Michael Ray, and Marla Sue, and enjoyed 58 | ||
years together before Mr. Cook's death in 2009; and | ||
WHEREAS, Today, Mrs. Cook is the proud matriarch of a family | ||
that also includes four grandchildren, Mark and Melissa Kilcullen | ||
and Jason and Amanda Cook, as well as four great-grandchildren, | ||
James and Jonathan Cook, Zoey Kilcullen, and Jaxon Stafford; she is | ||
a respected member of her community who is known for her fairness, | ||
dedication, and concern for the common good, and she is a valued | ||
congregant of Becker Road Baptist Church; and | ||
WHEREAS, Among the many roles Mrs. Cook has played over the | ||
years is family genealogist, successfully tracing the history of | ||
not only the Hill, Davis, Martin, and Moore branches of her family, | ||
but also the Quarles and Cook branches of her husband's family; in | ||
addition, she initiated the annual Hill, Martin, and Davis reunion | ||
to the delight of her loved ones; her interest in her ancestry has | ||
been enhanced by membership in the Daughters of the American | ||
Revolution, the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the | ||
Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War; and | ||
WHEREAS, Kind, generous, and hardworking, Melba Cook is a | ||
source of inspiration to all who are fortunate enough to know her, | ||
and it is indeed a pleasure to honor her for her accomplishments | ||
during 80 years of life well lived; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas, | ||
1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Melba Glyn Hill Cook on her | ||
80th birthday and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued | ||
