Bill > HR579

This resolution honors the life and legacy of Vertis O'Neal Storey, a dedicated psychologist who worked for four decades at Terrell State Hospital, where he served in various leadership roles including director of quality management and program director for multiple treatment units. Born in Galveston in 1945 and raised in Houston, Storey graduated from the University of Houston with a psychology degree and later completed graduate studies at Stephen F. Austin State University. Throughout his career, he was instrumental in implementing electronic medical record systems and developing new programming at the hospital. After retiring in 2017, he continued serving the community by joining the Terrell State Hospital Volunteer Services Council. The resolution commemorates his professional achievements and personal life, highlighting his 58-year marriage to Mary Carolyn Storey, with whom he had two children, two grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. The Texas House of Representatives formally pays tribute to his memory, extends condolences to his family, and orders an official copy of the resolution to be prepared in his honor, symbolically adjourning in remembrance of his contributions to healthcare and his community.
