H.R. No. 75 



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The family and friends of Ann Marie Davis-Meyer of 
Round Rock suffered a great loss with the passing of this beloved 
woman on June 5, 2003, at the age of 63; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Davis-Meyer was born July 2, 1939, in Taylor, 
Texas, and graduated from high school in Lake Charles, Louisiana; 
she worked for a period in the printing trade, during which time she 
belonged to the Graphic Artists International Union; and
	WHEREAS, In 1974 Mrs. Davis-Meyer joined the staff of the 
Texas Legislative Council, where she remained until her retirement 
in 2001; she began her career with the council in the proofreading 
department and spent 20 years there before transferring to the data 
transcription section in 1994; and
	WHEREAS, Highly valued for her skills, the excellence of her 
work, and her institutional knowledge, she was also treasured for 
the cheerful zest with which she approached life and for her 
unfailing thoughtfulness and generosity toward others; her 
warmheartedness was expressed in many ways, as in remembering 
colleagues with a gift on their birthday and at Christmas; those 
presents frequently included a Beanie Baby, until virtually every 
desk in data transcription boasted one of the little toys; and
	WHEREAS, A lover of country music, she also enjoyed trying 
her luck--generally, her very good luck--at the football pools, the 
lottery, bingo, and occasionally a casino; she was fond of dogs, as 
well, and refused to let an allergy to them stand in the way of 
adopting one; and
	WHEREAS, Ann Marie Davis married Kenneth Meyer in 1987, and 
with their union each partner delighted in gaining four additional 
children; Mrs. Davis-Meyer found her deepest source of pleasure and 
pride in her large, lively, and close-knit family; and
	WHEREAS, Although Ann Marie Davis-Meyer completed her 
journey on this earth far too soon, those who treasured this bright 
and caring spirit are deeply thankful that their lives intertwined, 
and the love they shared with her will live forever in their hearts; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay special tribute to the 
memory of Ann Marie Davis-Meyer and extend sincere sympathy to the 
members of her family:  to her husband, Kenneth Meyer; to her 
children, Roxanne Arrick and her husband, Jim, Lynette Carrow and 
her husband, Jimmy, Lin Davis and his wife, Kathy, Ben Davis and his 
wife, Heather, Ken Meyer and his wife, Melissa, Carol Manhart and 
her husband, David, Joe Meyer and his wife, Jackie, and Chuck Meyer; 
to her mother, Margaret Weber; to her sister, Harriet Kubala and her 
husband, Sidney; to her brother, J. B. Pearson and his wife, Joan; 
to her 24 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; and to her 
other relatives and many 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 Ann Marie 
Davis-Meyer.

                                                                          Krusee

	I certify that H.R. No. 75 was unanimously adopted by a rising
