	Council as well; moreover, she was involved with the San Angelo
	Museum of Fine Arts and served on the fund-raising committee for the

	WHEREAS, This proud UT alumna was a generous supporter of her
	alma mater and a staunch proponent of higher education; in 1982, the
	board of regents of The University of Texas System established the
	Amy Johnson McLaughlin Centennial Professorship in Home Economics
	to recognize her contributions; she later served as co-chair of a
	committee that raised construction funds for the Seay Building,
	which now houses several Human Ecology departments, and the
	university named a foyer in her honor; more recently, she was
	recognized with the creation of the Amy Johnson McLaughlin
	Administrative Chair in Human Ecology; and
	WHEREAS, She and her husband were among the earliest
	benefactors of the San Angelo Area Foundation and made a major
	donation to underwrite its scholarship program; a caring mentor,
	Mrs. McLaughlin enjoyed attending the scholarship luncheons and
	following the progress of the young recipients; and
	WHEREAS, Gracious, warm, and thoughtful of others, Amy
	McLaughlin earned a special place in the hearts of innumerable
	people, and she made a lasting, positive difference through her
	selfless dedication to civic life; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Amy Johnson
	McLaughlin and extend sincere condolences to her loved ones; and,
