H.R. No. 120

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, A life defined by compassion, courage, and
	commitment drew to a close with the passing of Anne Castleberry
	McAfee of Austin on July 13, 2013, at the age of 82; and
	WHEREAS, Born in Austin on October 15, 1930, the former Anne
	Elizabeth Castleberry grew up with her mother, Martha Faulk
	Castleberry Stansbury, on the South Austin farm of her
	grandparents, Henry and Mattie Faulk; their rambling Victorian home
	welcomed a host of relatives and friends, including Mattie Faulk's
	colleagues from the women's suffrage movement, and spirited
	discussions on politics, religion, and other topics were the order
	of the day; Ms. McAfee developed a profound love of our nation's
	founding ideals, as well as a determination to uphold them by making
	society more just and inclusive; at the age of 13, she entered the
	political arena as a volunteer for the gubernatorial campaign of
	former suffragette Minnie Fisher Cunningham, and a few years later,
	she attended the Progressive Party Convention in Philadelphia; and
	WHEREAS, This remarkable young woman graduated from Austin
	High School and majored in history at The University of Texas at
	Austin, where she met her future husband, Bill McAfee; Ms. McAfee
	devoted herself to their home and their five children and pursued
	her interest in civic affairs by subscribing to the Congressional
	Record and numerous other publications; once the children were in
	school, Ms. McAfee edited a small monthly magazine for the family
	business, and she later edited the Austin Times, a progressive
	weekly that she and her husband established; and
	WHEREAS, Over the years, Ms. McAfee was highly involved in
	myriad campaigns for public office at the local, state, and
	national levels; she was a statewide coordinator for George
	McGovern's presidential campaign and served as campaign treasurer
	for congressional candidate John Courage and for Travis County
	Constable Maria Canchola; her warm smile and delightful sense of
	humor graced innumerable Democratic functions, where she assisted
	in a host of ways; a dependable source of wise counsel, she mentored
	elected officials in her hometown, and she provided information and
	advice to President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign; she was also an
	officer and newsletter editor for the Travis County Democratic
	Women, a member of the State Democratic Executive Committee, and an
	original and sustaining member of the Yeller Dawgs group; and
	WHEREAS, This indomitable Austinite benefited the League of
	Women Voters as an officer and newsletter editor; from the era of
	the poll tax onward, she worked to ensure equal access to the ballot
	box for all, and she was a staunch supporter of the civil rights
	movement; she helped found the Save Barton Creek Association, and
	she gave selflessly of her time and talents in behalf of many
	progressive causes, among them increasing health care access,
	empowering farmworkers, protecting the environment, and ending war
	and nuclear proliferation; raising her voice for women's rights her
	entire life, she provided tremendous inspiration to younger
	activists through her presence at the State Capitol during the
	senate filibuster on June 25, 2013; and
	WHEREAS, Anne McAfee was dedicated to her family, her
	community, and her country, and she instilled in other people an
	awareness of the importance of standing up for cherished principles
	of social justice; although she will be deeply missed by those she
	leaves behind, her shining example of civic engagement will
	continue to light their way; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory
	of Anne Castleberry McAfee and extend sincere condolences to the
	members of her family: to her husband of 61 years, Bill McAfee; to
	her children, Susan Raybuck and her husband, Perry, Mark McAfee,
	Karen Kate McAfee, Laura O'Neill, and Nancy Dyer and her husband,
	Allan; to her grandchildren, David Raybuck, Abigail Daigle, Sean
	Raybuck, Adrienne O'Neill, Amanda Adele McAfee, Kaela Dyer Luna,
	Kevin Deckard McAfee, Emerson McAfee, Garrett Dyer, Kenny O'Neill,
	Jeff McAfee Deckard, and Sarah O'Neill; to her great-grandchildren,
	Sydney, Perry, Harper, and Everlee; and to her many other
	relatives, friends, and admirers; 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 Anne
	Castleberry McAfee.
