This resolution pays tribute to Dr. Alice Gayle Hudgens, a Hays City Council member who passed away on November 5, 2024, at age 83, by honoring her remarkable life and professional achievements. Born in New Mexico to a military family, Hudgens was a highly educated scholar with multiple advanced degrees from the University of Texas at Austin, including master's degrees in Latin American studies and library science, and a doctorate in educational administration. Throughout her life, she was an activist and community leader who engaged in environmental and political advocacy, including founding the North Texas Greens, reporting on government issues, and writing for local publications like the Hays Free Press. The resolution acknowledges her diverse professional experiences, including working as an assistant press secretary during the Kennedy administration and as a reference librarian, and highlights her personal commitments to learning, nature, and social justice. The Texas House of Representatives formally extends sympathy to her husband Harvey L. Davis Jr., her children, stepson, grandchildren, and other family members, and resolves to prepare an official copy of the resolution in her memory, demonstrating deep respect for her contributions to her community and society.
