WHEREAS, The death of Barbara Nesbitt Miller of Sugar Land on |
|
February 2, 2016, at the age of 68, brought a great loss to her |
|
family and to her many friends; and |

|
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 |
|
across the South before they settled in Texas in 2000; Mrs. Miller |
|
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; |
|
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 Babs |
|
Miller. |
