WHEREAS, Memories of a life filled with joyful times, loving |
|
|
moments, and meaningful accomplishments remain to comfort the |
|
|
family and friends of Thelma Elaine Chandler Waxman, who died |
|
|
peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on February 18, 2007; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Waxman was born to Rose and Abe Feingold in |
|
|
Chicago on April 14, 1930, and attended junior college; she raised |
|
|
two daughters and for many years worked at the University of Chicago |
|
|
and various medical offices; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Deeply fond of children, she also taught preschool |
|
|
and rarely passed a child without smiling and engaging in |
|
|
conversation; after moving to Austin five years ago, she helped |
|
|
care for her two granddaughters and was a nanny for her "adopted" |
|
|
grandson; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Books, plays, movies, television, and good food were |
|
|
among the other things that Mrs. Waxman thoroughly enjoyed; she was |
|
|
passionate about the game of mah jong, which she played for more |
|
|
than 50 years, and passed the love of the game on to her daughters |
|
|
and close friends; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Thelma Waxman's kind words, warm touch, and |
|
|
wonderful sense of humor will be greatly missed, and she will |
|
|
forever be remembered by those who carry her close in their hearts; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|

|
|
Chandler Waxman and extend sincere sympathy to the members of her |
|
|
family: to her daughters, Robin Chandler and Michele Chandler; to |
|
|
her son-in-law, Michael Leseten; to her granddaughters, Alena and |
|
|
Maya Leseten; to her stepchildren, Janet Rhines, Andi Steinberg, |
|
|
Wendy Waxman, and Marty Waxman; to her step-grandchildren, Josh, |
|
|
Alex, and Marissa; 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 |
|
|
