	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, With the passing of Charlotte Koehler Flynn on April
	19, 2015, at the age of 96, the State of Texas lost a remarkable
	citizen who devoted her life to serving the greater good; and
	WHEREAS, Born in St. Louis on March 28, 1919, to Charlotte
	and Arnold Koehler, the former Charlotte Koehler was joined in
	matrimony to William Flynn on July 11, 1941, and the couple nurtured
	a rewarding union that spanned more than six and a half decades
	until his passing; over the course of their marriage, they became
	the parents of three children, Liz, Mary Lou, and Greg, and their
	family later grew to include two granddaughters, Kathryn and
	Charlotte; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Flynn graduated with a bachelor's degree in
	nursing from Washington University in St. Louis in 1941 and
	subsequently worked as an operating room supervisor in Panama; she
	and her family frequently moved in support of her husband's career
	in the U.S. Navy, and in 1970, they put down roots in Austin; and
	WHEREAS, A staunch advocate for social justice, Mrs. Flynn
	championed rights for youth, women, the elderly, the poor, and the
	disenfranchised; she was a founding member of the Austin chapter of
	the Gray Panthers, and she greatly benefited the national
	organization through her service as chair in the 1990s and as a
	spokesperson for its National Campaign for Universal Health Care;
	moreover, she was active with the Texas Coalition for Juvenile
	Justice and the Austin Peace and Justice Coalition, and she was
	involved in the Girl Scouts for more than 35 years; in her leisure
	time, she enjoyed printmaking, and she was known for giving refuge
	to deer, birds, and creatures of all kinds who found their way to
	her loving home; and
	WHEREAS, Charlotte Flynn was a woman of strength, compassion,
	and deeply held ideals who remained engaged in the world throughout
	her life and who found joy and inspiration in helping others; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Charlotte Koehler
	Flynn and extend sincere condolences to the members of her family:
	to her children, Liz Flynn, Mary Lou Flynn-DuPart and her husband,
	Mike, and Greg Flynn and his wife, Alicia; to her sister, Barbara
	Maschmeier; to her granddaughters, Kathryn and Charlotte Flynn; and
	to her other relatives and many friends; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of
	Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Charlotte
	Flynn.
