The resolution celebrates her enduring legacy as a family matriarch with 6 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren, and acknowledges her personal qualities of instilling values of faith and kindness, as well as her lifelong hobbies like sewing. The Texas House of Representatives officially recognizes her milestone birthday by formally congratulating her, extending best wishes for continued happiness, and preparing an official copy of the resolution as a token of their high regard for her life and contributions.
