H.R. No. 762



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The town of Jacksonville lost one of its most 
beloved residents and admired community leaders with the death of 
Barbara Greig on February 24, 2005, at the age of 73; and
	WHEREAS, Born Barbara Helen Barber on February 6, 1932, this 
Jacksonville native was blessed with four children, Stephen, Helen, 
James, and Rebekah; in addition to her long and distinguished 
career as a respiratory therapist, she worked for many years for the 
Jacksonville Public Library; and
	WHEREAS, Since her retirement, Mrs. Greig devoted her time to 
a number of charitable causes, including HOPE, the Friends of the 
Library, the League of Women Voters, and Clean Community Systems of 
Jacksonville; distressed by the illiteracy rate in Cherokee County, 
this avid reader was instrumental in founding the Jacksonville 
Literacy Council and had recently rejoined the council's board of 
directors; she was also a member of HAPY Girls Club, the Red Hat 
Society, and First United Methodist Church; and
	WHEREAS, Although Barbara Greig will be greatly missed by her 
loved ones, she will long be remembered for her honesty, loyalty, 
quiet generosity, and sharp wit, as well as for her love of animals, 
especially her cats Chaplin and Una and her "granddog" Shadow; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Barbara Greig and 
extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to her 
children, Helen Marie Keller, James Schrecengost, and Rebekah Lou 
Schrecengost; to her grandchildren, Kyle McMahon, Alasun 
Schrecengost, Shannon Schrecengost, and Logan C. Eisele; to her 
brother, George Gleason Barber; and to her other relatives and 
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 House of 
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Barbara 
Greig.

                                                                          Hopson
