WHEREAS, The death of Barbara Nesbitt Miller of Sugar Land on | ||

1947, in the nation's capital, the former Babs Nesbitt grew up in | ||
the Washington, D.C., suburbs; she graduated from Walter Johnson | ||
High School in Bethesda, Maryland, and went on to major in American | ||
studies at the University of Maryland, where she met her future | ||
husband, U.S. Navy officer D. F. "Rick" Miller; the couple married | ||
on June 15, 1968, and they became the parents of three sons, Scott, | ||
Beau, and Mark; in recent years, they welcomed three grandchildren | ||
into their cherished family; and | ||
WHEREAS, Military life took the Millers to many postings | ||

was very active in the Republican party, serving as president of the | ||
Spirit of Freedom Republican Women and as a delegate to the Texas | ||
Republican Convention and the 2012 Republican National Convention; | ||
moreover, she provided invaluable assistance to her husband in his | ||
successful campaign for a seat in the Texas House of | ||
Representatives; and | ||
WHEREAS, A woman of profound faith, Mrs. Miller was a staunch | ||
advocate for pro-life causes; she was dedicated to reinforcing the | ||
nation's Judeo-Christian roots and was a strong supporter of | ||
Israel; and | ||
WHEREAS, Although she is deeply missed, Babs Miller's example | ||
of civic engagement will forever remain a source of inspiration to | ||
all who were fortunate enough to know her; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Barbara Nesbitt | ||
Miller and extend sincere condolences to all who mourn her passing; | ||
