SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 767
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas takes great |
|
|
pleasure in recognizing Maye Frances Hainsworth-Hutson, who is |
|
|
celebrating her 100th birthday on May 8, 2013; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Maye was born the year before World War I began, |
|
|
and as a centenarian, she has witnessed the passing of many a |
|
|
milestone; yet she has always been a person ahead of her time: an |
|
|
African American woman who obtained a college degree at a time |
|
|
when few women did so; she is an accomplished musician who toured |
|
|
the United States in her 20s, and she is a dedicated public |
|
|
servant who joined the American workforce well before the onset |
|
|
of World War II; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the years, Maye Hutson has lived a rich and |
|
|
accomplished life; as a public school music teacher, she has |
|
|
expanded the horizons of countless young students; as a mentor to |
|
|
numerous African American women, she has illuminated the path to |
|
|
success; and as a civil servant, she has applied her energy and |
|
|
skills in her work with the Harris County Emergency Relief |
|
|
Department and the United States Naval Supply Depot in Oakland, |
|
|
California; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A life member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, |
|
|
Incorporated, she has been an active member of Xi Alpha Omega |
|
|
Chapter since 1981; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Throughout her many triumphs and achievements, |
|
|
Mrs. Hutson has been a font of wisdom and encouragement for all |
|
|
those who have known her, and she remains an exemplary role model |
|
|
for her many students and protégés; it is fitting, then, that the |
|
|
long and eventful life of this centenarian be honored; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
|
83rd Legislature, hereby commend Maye Frances Hainsworth-Hutson on |
|
|
the auspicious occasion of her 100th birthday and extend to her |
|
|
sincere best wishes for a joyous celebration; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
her as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
