WHEREAS, Residents of Williamson County lost an admired |
|
|
public servant and a cherished friend with the passing of Jane Ellen |
|
|
Tableriou on January 6, 2009, at the age of 64; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Jane Tableriou was born in Chicago on January 3, |
|
|
1945; she went on to marry Nick Tableriou on June 10, 1967, and the |
|
|
couple were blessed with two children, Nicole and Brett; in 1985, |
|
|
Mrs. Tableriou and her family relocated to the Lone Star State; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After settling in a new home in Georgetown, Mrs. |
|
|
Tableriou soon began a distinguished tenure with Williamson County |
|
|
that would span more than two decades; as the executive assistant to |
|
|
the county judge, she first worked with the Honorable Don Wilson and |
|
|
later with the Honorable John Doerfler; the anchor of the county |
|
|
judge's office, Mrs. Tableriou earned the affectionate title, |
|
|
"Judge Jane," and because she possessed an institutional knowledge |
|
|
of Williamson County that few others could match, she was also |
|
|
sometimes referred to as its highest-ranking, nonelected official; |
|
|
she built a strong partnership with Judge Doerfler, which lasted |
|
|
from 1990 through 2006, when they both retired; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Committed to her colleagues, Mrs. Tableriou |
|
|
remained a valuable asset to Williamson County after her |
|
|
retirement; she helped plan the grand reopening celebration of the |
|
|
county's historic courthouse, and she assisted employees of the |
|
|
Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter, educating them on county |
|
|
business and organizing their office; when she was not serving |
|
|
others, she enjoyed making scrapbooks, going on cruises, and |
|
|
spending time in the company of her beloved family; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Jane Tableriou enhanced the lives of her fellow |
|
|
citizens in myriad ways, and memories of her will long be treasured |
|
|
by all those 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 Jane Ellen Tableriou |
|
|
and extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to her |
|
|
husband of 41 years, Nick Tableriou; to her children, Nicole and |
|
|
Brett Tableriou; to her sister, Charlotte Buttin; to her niece, |
|
|
Melissa Pinkerton; to her nephew, Rick Buttin; 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 Jane Ellen |
|
|
Tableriou. |
