organist in 1965, and she remained dedicated to this role | ||

the years, she has provided musical accompaniment for countless | ||
church services, weddings, funerals, and church programs, and | ||
her beautiful organ music has been enjoyed and appreciated by | ||
all; and | ||
WHEREAS, Yvonne and her beloved husband, Ronnie Creppon, | ||
were married on July 30, 1966; they were blessed with two | ||
daughters, Suzanne, who married Chad Meads, and Rhonda, who | ||
married Mike Grady; she is a loving grandmother to her five | ||
grandchildren: Jack, Callie, and Avery Meads, and Jace and Keaton | ||
Grady, who enrich her life immeasurably; she shares a close bond | ||
and cherishes time spent with her sister, Sandra, and her | ||
brother-in-law, Randy, who live in Round Rock; and | ||
WHEREAS, A woman of great talent, grace, and generosity, | ||
Yvonne is a treasured member of her congregation and a distinguished | ||
citizen of the Lone Star State; she can reflect with pride on more | ||
than five decades as organist for New Sweden Evangelical Lutheran | ||
Church and on her many outstanding contributions to her church and | ||
her community; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commend June Yvonne | ||
Lundgren Creppon on her exemplary commitment to serving the | ||
congregation of New Sweden Evangelical Lutheran Church and | ||
