|
|

WHEREAS, She met Scott Confer while living in Florida, and |
|
|
the two were married on November 28, 1987; she returned to the |
|
|
Mabank area with her husband in 1992 in order to be closer to her |
|
|
father and became the city administrator for her hometown the |
|
|
following year; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The deep roots that Ms. Confer had in Mabank made her |
|
|
a natural fit in local government, and she played a key role in |
|
|
numerous city projects, including the creation of a new city hall, |
|
|
an outdoor pavilion, a walking trail, a rodeo arena, and new fire |
|
|
stations, as well as the establishment of an economic development |
|
|
corporation; she was known for her skill with finances and her |
|
|
ability to secure funding for municipal needs, as well as for her |
|
|
professionalism, determination, and friendly and caring attitude; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although her life ended far too soon, Louann Confer |
|
|
had a positive and lasting influence on the Mabank community, and |
|
|
she will forever be remembered with great admiration and affection |
|
|
by all who had the privilege to know her; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |

|
|
aunts, Janie Crow and Nita Snowdon; to her uncle, Jule Crow; to her |
|
|
