WHEREAS, The 100th birthday of an esteemed Texan is indeed | ||
cause for celebration, and Dorothy Doss of Fort Worth reached | ||
that impressive milestone in her life in 2022; and | ||
WHEREAS, Dorothy Doss grew up in Weatherford, and while | ||
working at a bank one summer, she met a young banker named James | ||
Houston Doss Jr., whose family's roots in Parker County dated | ||
back to 1855; the couple were married in the town's Presbyterian | ||
Church, and they shared many years together as leading citizens | ||
of Weatherford; they were blessed with two sons, Jim and John, | ||
and a daughter, Nancy; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the years, the Doss family were generous | ||
supporters of Weatherford College, and later in life, Mrs. Doss | ||
played a vital role in the restoration of the church where she and | ||
her husband were married; Mr. Doss passed away in 2000, and in | ||
2006, the James and Dorothy Doss Heritage and Culture Center | ||
opened in Weatherford; this handsome, 23,000-square-foot museum | ||
is dedicated to celebrating the rich heritage of Parker County | ||
through its collections, exhibitions, and events; and | ||
WHEREAS, Today, Mrs. Doss lives in retirement in Fort | ||
Worth, where she delights in the company of her friends and | ||
loved ones; and | ||
WHEREAS, Dorothy Doss has witnessed a panorama of change | ||
over the course of a century, and her birthday provides a welcome | ||
opportunity for those who know and love her to share their | ||
appreciation for the service she has rendered to her community | ||
and for the joy she has imparted to others throughout her life; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
Legislature, hereby congratulate Dorothy Doss on her 100th | ||
birthday and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued | ||
happiness; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
prepared for Mrs. Doss as an expression of high regard from the | ||
Texas Senate. | ||
