| |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas honors and |

at the age of 91; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mother Inez "Nanny Pooh" Rogers was born on July |
|
|

|
1936 she was married to the late Dwight L. Rogers, Sr.; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, She professed her faith at an early age and united |
|
|
with the Boyd Chapel Methodist Church in Sturgis; she remained a |
|
|
devout Christian throughout her life; in her later years, she |
|
|
moved to Michigan and worshipped with her children at the Word of |
|
|
Life Christian Church and Greater Galilee Baptist Church; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Rogers retired from the Spartus Corporation |
|
|
in Louisville, Mississippi; however, she considered her most |

|
greatest joy was her children, whom she loved dearly, and she |
|
|
reminded them of that love daily; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, She enjoyed gardening, quilting, cooking, and |
|
|
traveling; she enriched the lives of all who knew her with her |
|

love, her kindness, and her enthusiasm for living each day to the |

|
fullest; she was a devoted mother and grandmother, and she leaves |
|
|
behind memories that will be treasured forever by her 11 |
|
|
children, her 17 grandchildren, her sister, and her two brothers; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd |

|
|

|
|
her family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas |
|
