	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Admired educator Sallye R. Moore of Grand Prairie
	passed away on April 15, 2025, at the age of 91; and
	WHEREAS, The daughter of Edward and Lillie Mae Johnson, the
	former Sallye Johnson was born in Waco on May 30, 1933, and she grew
	up with the companionship of three younger siblings, Eddie, Lee,
	and Carl; after graduating from Paul Quinn College at the age of 19,
	she began teaching in Slaton; during this period, she married
	Vandine Moore, and they were blessed with a son, Gregory; the
	devoted couple shared a fulfilling marriage of 70 years until
	Mr. Moore's death in 2023; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Moore taught high school English, social
	studies, and history at the all-Black Dalworth School in Grand
	Prairie and eventually earned her master of education degree from
	Prairie View A&M University; following integration, she served as a
	teacher and counselor at Grand Prairie High School; she went on to
	become principal of Dalworth Elementary School, where she
	established honors, early childhood, and special education
	programs, as well as others; she was later named director of
	curriculum and instruction for the Grand Prairie Independent School
	District and rose to associate superintendent; throughout more than
	four decades in education, Mrs. Moore was a tireless champion of
	students, encouraging them to follow their dreams; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Moore also benefited the wider community by
	serving as chair of the Grand Prairie Civil Service Commission and
	as president of both the Grand Prairie Federation of Women's Clubs
	and the Grand Prairie Park Board; in addition, she was a founding
	member of the Mid-Cities Chapter of the Links, Incorporated, and an
	active member of Soroptomist International of Grand Prairie and of
	the Beta Mu Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority; a woman of
	faith, she served St. John Church in numerous capacities; in 2001,
	Grand Prairie ISD named an elementary campus in her honor, and her
	many accolades included the 1991 Leadership Award from the Texas
	Council of Women School Executives, the 1985 Citizen of the Year
	Award from the Chamber of Commerce, and a Distinguished Alumni
	award from Waco ISD; and
	WHEREAS, Sallye Moore enriched the lives of innumerable
	people through her professional and civic contributions, and
	although she is deeply missed, she will forever be a source of
	inspiration to those she leaves behind; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Sallye R. Moore and
	extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to her son,
	Gregory Dean Moore Sr. and his wife, Juna Jones-Moore; to her
	grandsons, Gregory Dean Moore II and his wife, Lorena Lopez Moore,
	and Preston Andrew Moore; to her great-grandchildren, Clara Laniah
	Moore, Cameron Preston Moore, and Cortez Miguel Moore; and to her
	many other relatives and friends; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of
	Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Sallye
	Moore.
