R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The passing of Georgia Louise Reid of Canton on
August 12, 2003, at the age of 101, has brought a great loss to the
many friends and relatives of this much-loved Texan; and
WHEREAS, Born Georgia Louise Dillard on January 1, 1902, this
Somervell County native was the daughter of Aaron Lee and Mittie
Delilah Hudgins Dillard; she enjoyed a rewarding marriage with her
husband, James Roscoe Reid, with whom she built a loving home for
their five children, Jim, Johnny, Tommy, Bernice, and Linda Joan,
and in recent years she eagerly welcomed the new addition of many
grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren
to her family; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Reid, who resided in the communities of Willow
Springs and Crooked Creek for most of her life, was both admired and
respected by her friends and neighbors; her hobbies included
crocheting, ceramics, and arts and crafts, and for more than half a
century she played an instrumental role in the success of the
Eastern Star organization, serving as a charter member of the
Edgewood Chapter, a group that consolidated with Wills Point
Chapter No. 366; and
WHEREAS, Those who were privileged enough to know Mrs. Reid
will long remember the kindness and compassion she brought to every
facet of her life; though her presence is gone from us now, her
memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all those whose
lives she touched during her years on this earth; now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of
Georgia Louise Reid and extend deepest sympathy to the members of
her family: to her sons and daughter-in-law, Jim Reid, Johnny Reid,
and Tommy and Neva Jean Reid; to her daughters and sons-in-law,
Bernice and Bill Ewing and Linda Joan and Charles Page; to her 12
grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and three
great-great-grandchildren; and to her other friends and relatives;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the members of her family and that when the Texas House
of Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Georgia
Louise Reid.
