her 90th birthday; and | ||
WHEREAS, Florence Key was born on March 1, 1927, in | ||
Raymondville, Texas; she married her high school sweetheart, | ||
Charles Edward Fisher, on October 6, 1945, only five months after | ||
they graduated from Port Lavaca High School; they were blessed | ||
with two children, six grandchildren, and seven | ||
great-grandchildren, and they shared 57 years of marriage until | ||
his death in 2003; and | ||

at the Calhoun County clerk's office, and she later served for 26 | ||

cofounded Shoreline Dredging and Construction in 1968, and after | ||
many successful years, they sold the company in 1993; and | ||
WHEREAS, Florence moved to Austin to be close to her family | ||
after Hurricane Claudette hit Port Lavaca in 2003; she is a | ||
beloved matriarch within her family and a respected member of her | ||
community, and her birthday is indeed cause for celebration among | ||
her friends and those who are privileged to share in her life; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
