SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 879
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Pauline Moore of Brownwood on the grand occasion of her |
|
105th birthday; and |
|
WHEREAS, Pauline Moore was born May 4, 1912, in Macon, |
|
Georgia; she graduated from Wesleyan College in Macon and went on |
|
to earn a master's degree in religious education from the Woman's |
|
Missionary Union Training School in Louisville, Kentucky; and |
|
WHEREAS, During her time in Louisville, her future |
|
husband, the late John Allen Moore, proposed to her in a letter |
|
while he was serving as a missionary in Yugoslavia; they were |
|
married in Rome in 1940 and enjoyed 56 years of marriage together |
|
until John passed away; and |
|
WHEREAS, They served together as missionaries in |
|
Yugoslavia until they were forced out by the Nazis, whereupon |
|
they continued their work in Austria and Switzerland; in 1951, |
|
they adopted two children, Edward and Marilyn, from children's |
|
homes in Germany; in 1978, the family moved to Brownwood, where |
|
Mrs. Moore was active at First Baptist Church for many years; and |
|
WHEREAS, Pauline Moore has lived through times and |
|
experienced events that many people only know through history |
|
books; her life has given her a unique perspective on today's |
|
society, and there is much to be learned from the wisdom she has |
|
gained over the years; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Moore is a beloved and respected member of |
|
her community; she is noted for her warmth, her wit, and her wise |
|
counsel, and her enthusiasm for living each day to the fullest is |
|
an inspiration to others; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, hereby pay tribute to Pauline Moore and extend to |
|
her best wishes on the occasion of her 105th birthday; and, be |
|
it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
her as a memento of this milestone in her life. |
