| WHEREAS, Shortly after her wedding, she was involved in an | ||

| each day to the fullest and devoted herself to a life of service | ||
| to her family and her community; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Her house was where her daughters' friends | ||

| in a wide range of community organizations, including the Austin | ||
| March of Dimes, the Austin Lawyers' Auxiliary, the Austin Nature | ||

| in the face of adversity will not be forgotten; and | ||
| WHEREAS, She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, | ||
| and she leaves behind memories that will be cherished forever by | ||
| all who were privileged to share in her life; now, therefore, | ||
