|
|
2013, at the age of 78; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born to William and Zelma Core in Vickery on June 17, |
|
|
1935, the former Louise Core graduated from Richardson High School |
|
|
in 1953 and went on to achieve local renown for her culinary |
|
|
prowess; she started her own company, Weddings and Celebrations, in |

1978, catering thousands of weddings, civic functions, and |
|
|
luncheons over the next several decades; and |

devoted matriarch of a family that also included her niece, |
|
|
nephews, and grandchildren; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This warm and caring woman enriched the lives of |
|
|
many during her journey on this earth, and those who were privileged |
|
|
to share in her love and friendship will long hold her close in |
|
|
their hearts; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|

|
|
wife, Phyllis; to her nephews, Billy W. Core and his wife, Sharon, |
