H.R. No. 2205

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The 100th birthday of an esteemed Texan is indeed a
	special occasion, and Minnie Bell Williams of League City
	celebrated this momentous milestone with family and friends on
	March 7, 2015; and
	WHEREAS, Born to Dora Ashford and Morris Henson in Beasley in
	1915, she grew up with a sister, Mildred, and three brothers,
	Johnny, Willie, and Alec; in her youth, she spent much of her time
	on her grandfather's farm, picking cotton, milking cows, and
	gathering eggs, and following her chores, she ran the mile to school
	in order to arrive on time; and
	WHEREAS, She met the love of her life, Hugo Williams, while
	employed as a dime-a-dance girl in Houston, and they married on
	August 6, 1938; the couple became the proud parents of three
	daughters, Betty, Barbara, and Nancy, and Mrs. Williams had a grand
	time raising them, while instilling positive values and stressing
	the importance of education; and
	WHEREAS, Through the years, "Mom and Pop Williams" continued
	to delight people with their smooth moves at dance halls across
	Texas, proving that grace has no age limit; Mrs. Williams now
	credits her longevity and good health to lots of dancing, loads of
	fun, spending time with loved ones, staying positive, and enjoying
	a margarita; and
	WHEREAS, This vibrant centenarian also likes playing the slot
	machines at the casino, and she keeps up with technological
	developments; recently, she participated in her first video chat
	with a great-granddaughter via an iPhone application, and she is
	eagerly anticipating the day when robots will clean her house; a
	treasured matriarch, she takes pride in a fine family that has grown
	to include 10 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren; and
	WHEREAS, Dancing her way into her second century, Minnie
	Williams is a source of inspiration to all, and it is truly a
	pleasure to honor her for 100 years well lived; now, therefore, be
	it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate Minnie Bell Williams on her 100th
	birthday and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued
	happiness; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Mrs. Williams as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
