| |
|
|
In Memory |
|
|
of |
|
|
Constance H. McClintick |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins the |
|
|
citizens of San Antonio in mourning the loss of Constance H. |
|
|
McClintick, who died December 27, 2008, at the age of 84; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Constance H. McClintick was born on September 30, |
|
|
1924, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; she was a 1942 graduate of |
|
|
Thomas Jefferson High School in San Antonio, where she was an |
|
|
enthusiastic member of the Lassos; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, She married her childhood sweetheart, Charles |
|
|
Ralls McClintick, on January 3, 1942, and the couple had three |
|
|
sons; Mrs. McClintick shouldered the same burden as so many young |
|
|
wives of that era as she raised their family while her husband |
|
|
fought first in World War II and then in Korea; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Following the war, the family moved around the |
|
|
country as Dr. McClintick helped establish a series of Pearle |
|
|
Vision Centers, Vista Opticals, and Texas State Opticals; they |
|
|
returned to San Antonio, where Mrs. McClintick joined in her |
|
|
husband's enthusiastic support of Texas A&M University and |
|
|
became a devoted member of the Aggie Wives Club; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Active in civic and philanthropic affairs, Mrs. |
|
|
McClintick was a member of the Olmos Park Garden Club and the |
|
|
Daughters of the Confederacy; she was a volunteer for Boysville |
|
|
and a member of the Laurel Heights United Methodist Church; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A woman of courage, strength, and compassion, she |
|
|
gave generously to others, and her wisdom, forthrightness, and |
|
|
valued counsel will not be forgotten by those who knew her; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, She was a devoted wife and mother, and she will be |
|
|
remembered with affection and admiration by all who were |
|
|
privileged to share in her life; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st |
|
|
Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the bereaved |
|
|
family of Constance H. McClintick: her sons and |
|
|
daughters-in-law, Edward Lee and Elise McClintick and Clyde |
|
|
Perry and Cathy McClintick; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
her family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas |
|
|
Senate, and that when the Senate adjourns this day, it do so in |
