|
||
WHEREAS, A life made rich through meaningful service drew to | ||
a close with the passing of Rosalie Korinn Howerton of Tyler on | ||
October 29, 2018, at the age of 77; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born on July 3, 1941, in Miami, Florida, Rosalie | ||
Korinn Howerton was a proud member of the Women's Army Corps, where | ||
she was trained as a registered nurse; long after her retirement | ||
from nursing, she continued to offer medical advice when asked, and | ||
she took the time to ensure that senior citizens received the | ||
medical attention and care they needed; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mrs. Howerton was guided by her abiding patriotism | ||
and religious faith in all that she did; a flag captain for the East | ||
Texas Patriot Guard Riders, she traveled far and wide to attend | ||
funerals for her fellow veterans; she volunteered with the group | ||
Welcome Home Soldiers, and she was a generous supporter of various | ||
other veterans and Christian organizations; she further shared her | ||
time with the organization In God We Trust America, through which | ||
she was instrumental in securing the placement of the words "In God | ||
We Trust" in courthouses throughout Smith County; she was also | ||
active in Grassroots America, and she took the time to campaign | ||
door-to-door for county politicians and candidates who were aligned | ||
with her conservative values; and | ||
WHEREAS, Blessed with a loving family, Mrs. Howerton took | ||
pride in her son, Greg, and she experienced the joy of welcoming | ||
into her family four grandchildren, Rachel, Luke, Mark, and | ||
Rebekah, and two great-grandchildren, Audrey and Henley; and | ||
WHEREAS, Rosalie Howerton will be deeply missed by the | ||
countless people whose lives she touched, but they will continue to | ||
find inspiration in her kindness and generosity and her steadfast | ||
commitment to the ideals and beliefs she held dear; now, therefore, | ||
be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Rosalie Korinn | ||
Howerton and extend sincere sympathy to the surviving members of | ||
her family: to her son, Greg Howerton, and his wife, Angela; to her | ||
grandchildren, Rachel Tamez and her husband, Chris, Luke Howerton | ||
and his wife, Candace, Mark Howerton, and Rebekah Howerton; to her | ||
great-grandchildren, Audrey Tamez and Henley Custer; to her | ||
brothers, Brian Vandermark and Mike Horne; and to her other | ||
relatives and friends; 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 Rosalie | ||
Korinn Howerton. | ||
