         WHEREAS, The daughter of Corwin and Laura Tumbleson, the
  former Shirley Tumbleson was born in Carthage on April 10, 1943,
  and grew up with the companionship of a sister, Betty; shortly

  "Gene" Chadwick, with whom she shared 53 rewarding years, until
  his passing in 2015; the couple were blessed with two sons, James
  "Chad" Chadwick Jr. and John David Chadwick, and over the years,
  their family grew to include six beloved grandchildren, Ashley,
  Gerald, Christine, Kenzie, Jon-Michael, and Garrett; and
         WHEREAS, In 1968, the Chadwicks put down roots in Mineola,
  where Mrs. Chadwick became a pillar of the local community; she
  enjoyed a rewarding 25-year tenure as administrative director of
  the Mineola Area Chamber of Commerce, during which time she
  devoted herself to countless initiatives in support of promoting
  and preserving the city's rich history and natural beauty and
  encouraging business development; the organization honored her
  tireless efforts with its 2010 Distinguished Lifetime
  Achievement Award; and
         WHEREAS, This notable Texan further benefited the region
  through her service as a founder of the North East Texas Tourism
  Council and as a member of the Mineola Youth Foundation board and
  the Mineola Lions Club, which named her its Woman of the Year in
  1999; sustained by an abiding faith, she was also an active
  congregant of the First United Methodist Church in Mineola, where
  she held numerous leadership roles, taught Sunday school,
  volunteered with the youth group, and played in the handbell
  choir; in her leisure hours, she enjoyed quilting and gardening,
  and she relished the time she spent with the Wood County Master
  Gardeners; and
         WHEREAS, Possessed of a generous nature, an inspiring work
  ethic, and an infectious sense of humor, Shirley Chadwick left an
  indelible mark on all those who shared in the richness of her
  life, and her contributions to Mineola will continue to resonate
  for years to come; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th

  and extend sincere condolences to her loved ones and many
  friends; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
