WHEREAS, Family and friends are mourning the loss of Lou Jean |
|
|
Doak of Waco, who passed away on January 16, 2009, at the age of 84; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born on February 7, 1924, Lou Jean Doak was a native |
|
|
of Valparaiso, Indiana; she went on to attend college and study |
|
|
business, and she met Steve Doak in 1944; after Mr. Doak's |
|
|
discharge from the U.S. Navy the following year, the couple fell in |
|
|
love, and they were married on May 19, 1946; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Doak worked as a Realtor in Indiana, and she |
|
|
also shared her shorthand talents as a secretary for a variety of |
|
|
businesses; Mr. Doak's profession often required the couple to move |
|
|
across the country, and thus, his sociable wife had friends in |
|
|
Michigan, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, and Texas; known for her |
|
|
bright smile, Mrs. Doak delighted in the company of these |
|
|
acquaintances, with whom she enjoyed rounds of golf and shopping |
|
|
trips; she was also an active member of the Waco First United |
|
|
Methodist Church, and she loved her Sunday school class; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Lou Jean Doak enhanced the lives of many with her |
|
|
vibrant personality and her caring nature, and her memory will |
|
|
forever be treasured in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough |
|
|
to know her; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Lou Jean Doak and |
|
|
extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to her husband |
|
|
of 62 years, Steve Doak; to her son and daughter-in-law, Jim and |
|
|
Donna Doak; to her granddaughters, Stephanie Doak and Samantha |
|
|
Urbantke and her husband, Tab; to her great-grandchildren, Doak and |
|
|
Claire Urbantke; 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 Lou Jean |
|
|
Doak. |
