R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Memories of a life filled with many joyful times and
meaningful accomplishments may comfort the family and friends of
Esther Marie Green of Kerrville, who died on March 10, 2005, at the
age of 87; and
WHEREAS, A native Texan, the former Esther Schuster was born
on September 21, 1917, in Priddy, the first of eight children of
Otto and Emma Schuster; she was instilled with a deep faith and high
regard for home and family, and following the untimely passing of
her mother, she acted as a second mother to her younger siblings;
and
WHEREAS, She married Curtis Green on May 25, 1936, and
together they enjoyed an enduring marriage and shared a love of
adventure; after two decades of living in Texas and New Mexico, they
moved to Anchorage, Alaska, in 1955, before that land achieved
statehood; the Greens, employed with the U.S. Army, were avid
fishing enthusiasts and traveled the region by boat and plane to
find the best spots in which to drop a line; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Green and her husband retired in 1972 and
returned to Texas, where over the course of the next 13 years, they
delighted in annual trips to Mexico with friends for six weeks of
bass fishing; they moved to Kerrville in 1986 and celebrated their
50th wedding anniversary that same year; and
WHEREAS, This admirable woman gave generously of her time and
talents in behalf of her community, serving as president of the Hill
Country Youth Ranch Auxiliary, the National Association of Retired
Federal Employees, and the Republican Women of Kerr County; she was
a valued member of the Kerr County Women's Chamber, Inc., and Zion
Lutheran Church, where she served her fellow congregants as
president of the Deborah Circle and in many other roles; and
WHEREAS, Esther Marie Green will long be remembered as a
woman who lived life to the fullest and those she leaves behind will
continue to cherish memories of the many ways in which she
brightened their lives; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Esther Marie Green and
extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to her son,
Curtis Green, Jr., and his wife, Lyda; to her grandchildren,
Shelton Green, Bradley Green and his wife, Dianne, and Kristie Leaf
and her husband, Kenneth; to her great-grandchildren, Caleb,
Daniel, and Victoria Green and Kelsie, Connor, Noah, Jiabao, and
Meijan Leaf; to her siblings and their spouses, Mildred and Joe
Marshall, Johanna and Roy Wrinkle, Elmer and AnnaLee Schuster, and
Otto and Dora Schuster; and to her other relatives and many friends;
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 Esther
Marie Green.
