H.R. No. 71 |
|
||
WHEREAS, A rich and purposeful life drew to a close with the | ||
passing of Kathryn Morales on September 16, 2021, at the age of 56; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Born on February 18, 1965, Kathryn Morales was a | ||
talented athlete in her youth; while attending high school, she | ||
played on a number of sports teams, and she particularly | ||
distinguished herself as a high-scoring forward on the school's | ||
basketball team; and | ||
WHEREAS, After moving to Houston in the mid-1980s, | ||
Ms. Morales was employed with The University of Texas Health | ||
Science Center for more than a decade; she went on to work for | ||
several landscaping companies, and she eventually rose to the | ||
position of landscape specialist, overseeing a crew of workers; | ||
during her tenure, she became an expert on numerous topics related | ||
to landscape architecture, such as issue assessment, irrigation | ||
diagnosis, landscape restoration, and botany; and | ||
WHEREAS, In all her endeavors, Ms. Morales benefited from the | ||
love and support of her spouse, Debbie, with whom she shared a | ||
fulfilling union that spanned more than three decades; over the | ||
years, the couple opened their home to many animals, including | ||
their most recent pets, Piper and Jaxson; in her leisure time, | ||
Ms. Morales indulged her love of cars and the outdoors, and she put | ||
her gardening talents to work in her own yard, which reflected her | ||
deep appreciation for a well-manicured lawn; and | ||
WHEREAS, Although Kathryn Morales will be deeply missed, | ||
memories of her strength of character, her passion for life, and her | ||
devotion to her loved ones remain to comfort and inspire those she | ||
leaves behind; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory | ||
of Kathryn Morales and extend heartfelt sympathy to the members of | ||
her family: to her spouse, Debbie Trevino; to her siblings, Linda | ||
and Nicholas Morales; 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 Kathryn | ||
Morales. | ||
Morales Shaw | ||
