||
WHEREAS, The 100th birthday of an esteemed Texan is indeed | ||
cause for celebration, and Stella Wilbanks of Crosby is marking | ||
that momentous milestone in her life on February 18, 2023; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mrs. Wilbanks traces her family's roots in Texas | ||
back to 1847 with the arrival of her great-grandfather, August | ||
Vogelsang; she was born in Giddings to William and Elsie Smith in | ||
1923, and after spending most of her youth in Giddings, she moved to | ||
Austin around 1940; she later relocated to Houston and married | ||
Charles P. Wilbanks, and the couple would eventually become the | ||
parents of two daughters; and | ||
WHEREAS, After her husband's passing, Mrs. Wilbanks moved | ||
back to the family farm in Giddings, and since 2014, she has made | ||
her home in Crosby; with the passing years, she has had the pleasure | ||
of seeing her family grow to include two grandchildren and five | ||
great-grandchildren; she is known for her love of dancing, sewing, | ||
and mowing the fields on the farm; and | ||
WHEREAS, Stella Wilbanks has witnessed a panorama of change | ||
over the course of a century, and she has met life's challenges and | ||
opportunities with dignity and grace, earning her the deep | ||
admiration and affection of all who are privileged to know her; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Stella Wilbanks on the joyous | ||
occasion of her 100th birthday and extend to her sincere best wishes | ||
for continued happiness; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mrs. Wilbanks as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
