H.R. No. 271
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The untimely passing of Brenda Joyce Dobelbower of
Waco on February 14, 2003, at the age of 48, has brought a tragic
loss to the relatives and many friends of this beloved woman; and
WHEREAS, Born on May 23, 1954, in Waco, to Mack Martin Gorham
and Joyce Marie Gorham, Mrs. Dobelbower was a lifelong resident of
the city and a graduate of Richfield High School; she received an
associate of science degree in radiologic technology from McLennan
Community College and later attended the University of Utah, from
which she earned a bachelor's degree; and
WHEREAS, Highly regarded by her colleagues, Mrs. Dobelbower
was invited to become an instructor at McLennan Community College
not long after graduation; she soon earned a promotion to the
position of program director, and for more than two decades, she
provided outstanding leadership as director of the radiologic
technology program; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Dobelbower was a loving wife and mother; she
exchanged wedding vows with her best friend and soul mate, John Lyon
Dobelbower, on June 23, 1979, and the couple's marriage was
enhanced by a son and three daughters; and
WHEREAS, This lovely woman served as a role model in her
personal and business life; devoted to her loved ones, who included
her special pets, Lady and Jack, and to her profession, she was
greatly admired for her intellect, her keen wit, and her refusal
throughout her lifetime to ever let adversity stand in her way; and
WHEREAS, Brenda Dobelbower will be profoundly missed by all
who knew her, but her indomitable 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 hereby honor the memory of Brenda Joyce Dobelbower and
extend deepest sympathy to her husband, John Dobelbower; to her
daughter and son, Shannon and John Dobelbower; to her
step-daughters, Julie Ann and Patricia Ann Dobelbower; to her
aunts, Jean Hancock, Floy Gorham, Mazelle Domagalski, Jeanie
Cunningham, Ethel Lawler, Rosemary Gorham, and Myrtle King; and to
her other relatives and many friends; 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 Brenda
Joyce Dobelbower.
