||
| WHEREAS, Memories of a life filled with joyful times and | ||
| meaningful accomplishments remain to comfort the family and friends | ||
| of Linda Gay Galbraith Wall of Magnolia, who passed away on July 20, | ||
| 2020, at the age of 80; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The former Linda Galbraith was born in McCamey on | ||
| August 14, 1939, to Cecil and Lucy Galbraith; her family followed | ||
| her father's work in the oil and gas business, residing in Texas, | ||
| Oklahoma, and Kansas, before settling in the Houston suburb of West | ||
| University Place, where she attended Lamar High School; as an | ||
| active member of the youth ministry at West University Baptist | ||
| Church, she met her future husband, Joe Wall; the pair continued to | ||
| cross paths due to their involvement in the church, and after years | ||
| of blossoming romance, they exchanged wedding vows on August 20, | ||
| 1960; the couple were blessed with two sons, Scot and Christopher, | ||
| and five precious grandchildren, Marissa, Caleb, Angel, Tyler, and | ||
| Thomas; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over the course of their 60 years of marriage, | ||
| Mr. and Mrs. Wall were devoted partners in life and in ministry; | ||
| after earning her bachelor's degree and teaching certificate from | ||
| Sam Houston State University, Mrs. Wall taught in public schools to | ||
| support her husband while he completed his college and seminary | ||
| studies; she went on to minister alongside him at churches and | ||
| schools in Texas and in Colorado, and she served as a leader and a | ||
| spiritual mentor to a host of women's ministries; she also taught | ||
| English at Colorado Christian University while her husband served | ||
| as the university's president in the 1980s, and during the | ||
| following decade, she became engaged in a worldwide mission | ||
| ministry that involved training pastors' wives and other women in | ||
| the former Soviet Union; she and her husband later relocated to | ||
| Magnolia, where she contributed significantly to the women's | ||
| ministry at the new Magnolia Bible Church; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Linda Wall was beloved for her steadfast faith, her | ||
| warmth and kindness, and her generosity of spirit, and she will | ||
| forever hold a cherished place in the hearts of those she leaves | ||
| behind; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas, | ||
| 3rd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of Linda Gay | ||
| Galbraith Wall and extend sincere sympathy to her family and | ||
| friends; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
