R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The untimely passing of Deb Mohon of Gladewater on 
September 14, 2003, at the age of 55, has deeply saddened her family 
and many friends; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Mohon was known throughout the rodeo circuit 
for her expertise as a barrel racer and horse trainer; a rider since 
the age of 10, she became involved in barrel racing professionally 
in 1984, qualified for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association's 
National Finals Rodeo 11 times, and in 1990, was named reserve world 
champion; and
	WHEREAS, A native of Gladewater, she was born on December 29, 
1947, and graduated in 1966 from Gladewater High School; she 
married her high school sweetheart, Bubba Mohon, in 1970, and they 
shared a close and fulfilling relationship that was blessed with a 
son; and
	WHEREAS, Rodeo was a shared passion in this close-knit 
family, as Mrs. Mohon's husband and son both participated in cow 
roping, while her daughter-in-law competed in barrel racing; and
	WHEREAS, Throughout her lifetime, Deb Mohon's devotion and 
zest for life brought joy to a wide circle of family and friends, 
and this remarkable woman's generous spirit will surely live on in 
the hearts and minds of the many individuals whose lives she 
touched; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of 
Deb Mohon and extend deep sympathy to the members of her family: to 
her husband, Bubba Mohon; to her son and daughter-in-law, Monty and 
Bobbie Mohon; to her siblings, Mike Cannon, Barbara Halliday, Mary 
Helen Lowe, and Pam Orms; and to all those who mourn the passing of 
this beloved woman; 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 Deb Mohon.
