WHEREAS, The tragic loss of Terry Glenn Bailey, 54, and his |
|
|
wife, Pamela Hitt Bailey, 57, of Center on February 15, 2017, has |
|
|
deeply saddened their family and friends and the many people in |
|
|
their community whose lives they touched; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born in Center on March 13, 1962, Terry Bailey was |
|
|
the son of Millard and Charlotte Bailey; a self-made businessman, |
|
|
he found success in the logging and oil industries and went on to |
|
|
establish and own a multitude of different companies over the |
|
|
course of his lifetime; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The former Pamela Hitt was born on August 26, 1959, |
|
|
to Charles and Ann Hitt, and she graduated from Stephen F. Austin |
|
|
State University with a degree in business; after marrying Terry |
|
|
Bailey on September 27, 1980, she became the anchor of their |
|
|
treasured family, which grew to include two children, Carmen and |
|
|
Dustin, and four grandchildren, Falon, Ivy, Trevor, and Taygan; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This devoted husband and wife were ideal partners, |
|
|
and together, they invested in their community by turning over |
|
|
start-up businesses to budding entrepreneurs and purchasing land to |
|
|
build schools and churches; they were also the owners of a deer |
|
|
breeding facility in Center, and as lifetime members of the Texas |
|
|
Deer Association, they forged numerous friendships and made vital |
|
|
contributions to the deer industry across the country; with |
|
|
Mr. Bailey's larger-than-life personality and Mrs. Bailey's innate |
|
|
kindness, they shared a natural ability to uplift and inspire |
|
|
others, and they thrived on the joy of having a close-knit family |
|
|
and a wealth of cherished friends and colleagues; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although tragedy has brought an untimely end to the |
|
|
lives of these two beloved Texans, Terry and Pam Bailey leave behind |
|
|
a legacy of dedication to their family and their community that will |
|
|
be remembered and admired for many years to come; now, therefore, be |
|
|
it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the lives of Terry and Pamela |
|
|
Bailey and extend heartfelt sympathy to their relatives and many |
|
|
friends; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for their family and that when the Texas House of |
|
|
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Terry and |
|
|
