WHEREAS, Countless lives were touched by the kindness and |
|
|
generosity of Gean Bartoli of Waco, who passed away on March 2, |
|
|
2011, at the age of 86; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born on October 3, 1924, in Malden, Missouri, the |

|
|
Ackelson; she married the love of her life, Henry P. Bartoli, in a |

|
ceremony held on August 28, 1943, in San Antonio, and the couple |
|
|
became the proud parents of two children, Terry and Nancy; they also |
|

had the pleasure of welcoming six grandchildren and six |
|
|
great-grandchildren into their family; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Bartoli and her husband spent untold memorable |
|
|
hours happily gliding across dance floors to the admiring glances |
|
|
of other couples; in addition to devoting her time to caring for her |
|
|
own family, this gracious woman extended her maternal concern to |
|
|
the well-being of others; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Cherished for her warmth and sweet nature, Gean |
|
|
Bartoli made an indelible impression on all those fortunate enough |
|
|
to know her, and she will forever hold a treasured place in their |
|
|
hearts; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Gean Bartoli and |
|
|
extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to her husband |
|
|
of 67 years, Henry Bartoli; to her children and their spouses, Terry |
|
|
and Susan Bartoli and Nancy and Tom Bratcher; to her grandchildren, |
|
|
Renee Mitchell and her husband, Joel, Pete Bartoli, Andrea Swanson, |
|
|
Tommy Swanson, Brande Bratcher, and Wen Bratcher; to her |
|
|
great-grandchildren; and to her other relatives and friends; and, |
|
|

|
|
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 Gean |
|
|
