|
Kathy Staples Boobar |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, The tragic death of Kathy Staples Boobar of Plano |
|
|
on June 20, 2016, at the age of 49, brought profound sorrow to the |
|
|
family of this cherished wife, mother, daughter, and sister and |
|
|
to the many other people whose lives she touched; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born in Bowling Green, Kentucky, on April 18, |
|
|
1967, to Harold Staples and Beverly McCormack, the former Kathy |
|
|
Staples grew up with the companionship of two sisters, Karen and |
|
|
Lane; she embraced her adopted state of Texas, where she received |
|
|
a finance degree from The University of Texas at Austin in 1989; |
|
|
after graduating, she was employed for 26 years with Fiduciary |
|
|
Financial Services Wealth Management in Dallas, beginning in an |
|
|
entry-level position and eventually being named president of the |
|
|
company in 2014; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In addition to excelling in her professional |
|
|
responsibilities, Kathy Boobar benefited many organizations |
|
|
through her volunteer work, including the Junior League of Collin |
|
|
County and the Plano Area Chapter of the National Charity League; |
|
|
moreover, she served as a board member and treasurer for the |
|
|
Legacy Chapter of the Women's Auxiliary to Children's Medical |
|
|

|
|
behalf of her congregation at ParkwayHills Baptist Church; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This dynamic woman enjoyed the love and support of |
|
|
her husband, Tim Boobar, and she was a devoted and nurturing |
|
|
mother to her daughter, Carly; she was known for her bright smile |
|
|
and for the kindness that she showed others through her words and |
|
|
deeds, and when she was not volunteering, she found fulfillment |
|
|
in traveling and spending time with those dearest to her; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although her passing is an immeasurable loss to |
|
|
her community and to those who shared in the blessing of her life, |
|
|
Kathy Boobar's example of charity, love, and selfless generosity |
|
|
will forever remain a source of inspiration; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
