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.
