	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins the
	citizens of Brownsville in mourning the loss of Emily Irene
	Hamrick Harding, who died June 3, 2017, at the age of 93; and
	WHEREAS, Irene Hamrick was born on October 2, 1923, in
	Ashford, Alabama; she learned the importance of hard work growing
	up on her parents' 300-acre farm during the difficult years of
	the Great Depression; and
	WHEREAS, Irene met Jack Clayton Harding when he was on
	leave from his posting in the United States Navy, and they
	married in the spring of 1945; they lived in Jack's home state of
	Illinois for several years, and they moved to Brownsville in
	1961, when Jack accepted the position of general manager of the
	shrimp division of Booth Fisheries; and

	they were blessed with three children, and their four
	grandchildren and five great-grandchildren were a source of
	immense pride and joy; and

	was an ardent supporter of the Gladys Porter Zoo and a member of
	the Cameron County Republican Women organization; she was a
	diehard Chicago Cubs fan who was thrilled to see her team win the
	2016 World Series; her stunning bluebonnet garden was twice
	highlighted in the Brownsville Herald and earned her the title of
	"The Bluebonnet Queen"; she was beloved by many, and she leaves
	behind memories that will long be cherished by all who were
	privileged to share in her life; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
	Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby extend sincere
	condolences to the bereaved family of Emily Irene Hamrick
	Harding; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	her family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas
	Senate and that when the Senate adjourns this day, it do so in
	memory of Irene Harding.
