H.R. No. 2018

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The passing of Debby Hay Spradley of Dallas on May
19, 2019, at the age of 66, has brought great sadness to the family
and many friends of this beloved woman; and
WHEREAS, Born in Dallas on December 8, 1952, the former Debby
Hay was the daughter of Jess and Betty Jo Hay and the sister of Patty
Hay; she attended Hillcrest High School and Southern Methodist
University, where she graduated with a degree in journalism, and
took her first job at the International Apparel Mart; in 1983, she
opened The Hay Agency, a full-service advertising, public
relations, and marketing firm, which she operated for nearly 20
years; she sold the core business in 2000 and continued her work as
a consultant for Dallas schools and other nonprofit organizations;
and
WHEREAS, Ms. Spradley shared a rewarding marriage with her
husband, Webb Spradley, and cherished her daughters, Jessica and
Rachel, and her three granddaughters, Kathryn, Virginia, and
Margaret; her desire to support her children and grandchildren led
to her involvement as a volunteer at The Hockaday School, where she
served as a trustee, as president of The Hockaday Parents'
Association, and as chair of The Hockaday Annual Fund Campaign; the
institution held a special place in her heart, and in 2014, she had
the great satisfaction of being named its director of development;
and
WHEREAS, Beyond her work at Hockaday, Ms. Spradley served on
the boards of such groups as Planned Parenthood of North Texas, the
Dallas Women's Foundation, Educational First Steps, Uplift
Education, the ChildCare Group, and The Dallas Assembly; she was
also a former member of the parents' advisory boards of both The
University of Texas at Austin and Stanford University; a
hardworking and fiercely determined woman, she was a champion for
the causes in which she believed, and she excelled at every endeavor
she undertook; she was also known for her kind and selfless nature,
and she could always be counted on to be a caring friend and
counselor; and
WHEREAS, Although Debby Hay Spradley is deeply missed, she
will forever be remembered with admiration and affection by her
treasured family and by the countless other people whose lives she
touched; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Debby Hay Spradley and
extend heartfelt condolences to all those who mourn her passing;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Debby Hay
Spradley.
