  H.R. No. 2822
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, A rewarding life filled with meaningful
  achievements drew to a close with the passing of Claudia Ball on
  March 9, 2011, at the age of 80; and
         WHEREAS, The former Claudia Abbey was born to Elizabeth
  Hudspeth Abbey and William Campbell Abbey on November 5, 1930, in El
  Paso; her family spent a number of years in Hartford, Connecticut,
  during her childhood before settling in San Antonio, and she
  graduated from St. Mary's Hall in 1948, where she was superior
  senior class president; she went on to further her education at
  Vassar College and was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society;
  and
         WHEREAS, While serving as a duchess for the Order of the Alamo
  during the San Antonio Fiesta of 1953, she became acquainted with
  her future husband, T. Armour Ball; the couple enjoyed a rewarding
  relationship until Mr. Ball passed away in 1990, and they raised two
  children, William Armour Ball, who preceded his parents in death,
  and Mary Alice Ball Strunk; and
         WHEREAS, A woman of many interests and talents, Mrs. Ball was
  an avid golfer who was champion of the San Antonio Country Club
  Women's Golf Club for several years and was president, treasurer,
  and director of the Texas State Golf Association; she was also
  active with the Institute of Texan Cultures, and held leadership
  roles with the Texas Folklife Festival; and
         WHEREAS, Mrs. Ball was equally devoted to ranching, which she
  first learned to love while spending time on her grandparents'
  Hudspeth River Ranch as a child; her later stewardship of the
  property allowed her to assist in the development of conservation
  practices, and a teaching program established at the ranch hosted
  students from three state universities; in recognition of her
  efforts, she was named Conservation Rancher of the Year in 1983; her
  love of the outdoors was further reflected in her hobby of hunting,
  and she pursued birds and other quarry in locations around the
  globe; and
         WHEREAS, Claudia Ball found time for many other activities in
  the course of her life, but she especially loved spending time in
  the company of her grandchildren and cheering on the San Antonio
  Spurs; the enthusiasm she brought to each of her endeavors was an
  inspiration to all who had the good fortune to know her, and she
  will be fondly remembered and deeply missed; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
  Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Claudia Ball and
  extend sincere condolences to the members of her family: to her
  daughter, Mary Alice Ball Strunk, and her husband, William Robert
  "Billy Bob" Strunk; to her grandchildren, William Armour Strunk,
  Sarah Campbell Strunk, and Claudia Abbey Strunk; to her
  daughter-in-law, Kathleen Curry; to her dear friends, JoAnn Andera,
  Mourette Boehme, Sandy and Brenda Atherton, Mark and Stephanie
  Alsup, and Fidencia Castillo; and to all 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 Claudia
  Ball.
