|
|
Pickle, who died October 27, 2011, at the age of 93; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Beryl Bolton was born on December 7, 1917, in |
|
|
Rusk, Texas; she grew up in Jacksonville and attended Lon Morris |
|
|
College; she married James Graham McCarroll in 1936, and the |
|
|

|
|

|

|
|
daughter; and |
|
|

was a source of strength to him throughout his 31-year career in |
|
|
Washington, D.C., and throughout his life thereafter; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, An exemplary lady and a leader in her community, |
|

|
devoted to her family and who was respected for her |

|
accomplishments; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Beryl gave unselfishly of her time to others, and |
|
|
her courageous attitude toward life was inspirational to those |
|
|
who knew her; she was beloved by many, and she leaves behind |
|
|
memories that will be treasured forever by all who were |
|
|
privileged to share in her life; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
|
83rd Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the |
|
|
bereaved family of Beryl Bolton McCarroll Pickle; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
