	WHEREAS, The passing of Caroline Irene Mannschreck Brady of 
Waco on May 23, 2003, at the age of 95, has deeply saddened the 
family and many friends of this esteemed woman; and

family of Carl and Rose Mannschreck, in McAlester, Oklahoma, Mrs. 
Brady was the second of four children and their only daughter; and

attended Oklahoma College for Women for one year before 
transferring to Oklahoma A&M, where she received a bachelor's 
degree in home economics; after earning a master's degree in 
education from Southwestern State Teacher's College, she joined the 
staff at Anadarko High School, beginning a notable career that 
spanned more than 30 years; and
	WHEREAS, In 1929, this lovely lady married Edgar W. Brady, 
Anadarko High School's football coach, and the couple subsequently

career, before shifting her focus to elementary education and later 
to the responsibilities of principal; she retired in 1973; and
	WHEREAS, During the course of nearly 60 years of a close and 
rewarding marriage, Mrs. Brady and her husband raised crops and 
cattle on family farms in Beckham County while maintaining careers 
and raising their own three children; they also generously provided  
a home for two teenagers, Roger and D. B. Pearson, during the 
difficult years of the Great Depression; and
	WHEREAS, A resident of Waco since 1992, Mrs. Brady was a 
valued congregant of the Church of Christ throughout her lifetime, 
serving as a Sunday school teacher and coordinator of efforts to 
provide clothing and food for needy individuals; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Brady was an inspiring model of faith and 
service, and she will be remembered with great affection and 
admiration for many years to come; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas

Irene Mannschreck Brady.
