| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize Thelma Lee Burditt Ivison on the joyous occasion of her | ||
| 100th birthday; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Thelma Burditt was born on September 22, 1917, in | ||
| Scurry County, Texas; she graduated from Snyder High School in | ||
| 1936 and earned a nursing degree from King's Daughters Hospital | ||
| in Temple in 1939; and | ||
| WHEREAS, She married Ira Truman Ivison on December 9, 1939, | ||
| and they were blessed with two daughters and a son; they were | ||
| married for more than 41 years, until Mr. Ivison passed away in | ||
| 1981; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mrs. Ivison guided her family by loving example; | ||
| generous and nurturing, she always helped to care for family | ||
| members in times of illness; and | ||
| WHEREAS, When her children began to build lives of their | ||
| own, she initially went to work in a coffee factory; she later | ||
| worked as a cook for a day care center and as an assembly line | ||
| worker at a house shoe company; she also learned to play the bass | ||
| guitar and played with a senior citizens' band that performed at | ||
| weekly senior dances, nursing homes, and weddings; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, Thelma Ivison continues to drive her own car | ||
| and to manage her own finances, and she still cares for her home and | ||
| one-acre property outside of Odessa; she is a strong, loving, and | ||
| fiercely independent woman who is beloved throughout the | ||
| community, and her 100th birthday is indeed cause for celebration | ||
| among her many friends and loved ones; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby recognize Thelma Lee | ||
| Burditt Ivison as a treasured citizen of the Lone Star State | ||
| and extend to her congratulations on her 100th birthday; and, | ||
