| WHEREAS, The 100th birthday of an esteemed member of the | ||
| Greatest Generation is indeed cause for celebration, and | ||
| Elizabeth Frances Redfern Newberg of Marshall marked this | ||
| momentous milestone in her life on December 25, 2020; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Born in Winfield in 1920, the former Elizabeth | ||
| Redfern lived on a farm in her early years and graduated from | ||
| Marshall High School; her patriotism led her to become one of the | ||
| first to enlist in the United States Marine Corps Women's Reserve | ||
| during World War II; after training at Hunter College in New York | ||
| and then Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, she was stationed in San | ||
| Francisco, where she performed clerical work and attained the | ||
| rank of sergeant; and | ||
| WHEREAS, She married the love of her life, Glenn W. | ||
| Newberg, in 1947, and they became the parents of three sons, | ||
| Glenn, Mark, and Michael, and two daughters, Mary and Martha; the | ||
| next two generations included eight grandchildren and seven | ||
| great-grandchildren; devoted to her family, Mrs. Newberg stayed | ||
| so busy taking care of them all that one of her sons has joked | ||
| that he was 50 years old before he realized mothers sat down; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through the years, Mrs. Newberg has always | ||
| demonstrated her love for her country by displaying an American | ||
| flag on her porch; she still snaps to attention whenever she | ||
| hears the Marine Corps hymn; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Elizabeth Newberg is a source of tremendous | ||
| inspiration, and in sharing the experience gained through a | ||
| century of life well lived, she bestows a precious gift of wisdom | ||
| that benefits all who are fortunate enough to know her; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
| Legislature, hereby congratulate Elizabeth Frances Redfern | ||
| Newberg on her 100th birthday and extend to her sincere best | ||
| wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mrs. Newberg as an expression of high regard from | ||
| the Texas Senate. | ||
