         WHEREAS, Family and friends will forever treasure their
  memories of Patricia Ann King of Kemp, who passed away on January
  29, 2021, at the age of 78; and
         WHEREAS, Born in Dallas on May 28, 1942, to William and Faye
  White Huckaby, the former Patricia Ann Huckaby grew up with the
  companionship of two siblings, Patrick and Priscilla; after
  graduating from W. W. Samuell High School in 1960, she wed the love
  of her life, Charles King, in September 1962; the couple went on to
  share more than 58 years of marriage, during which time they
  devotedly raised two sons, Ty and Chad; in her later years,
  Mrs. King welcomed into her family six grandchildren, Trent, Brice,
  Trevor, Dylan, Caedyn, and Kenzee, and two great-grandchildren,
  Kyler and Blakely; and
         WHEREAS, Mrs. King discovered her passion for music at an
  early age and began playing the piano at her church as a teenager;
  after first working as a secretary for Southern Union Gas Company,
  she took a job as a music teacher for the Malakoff Independent
  School District in 1976; she began teaching music at Kaufman
  Christian School in 2000 and earned recognition as the school's
  Teacher of the Year for 2014-2015; over the years, she shared her
  gifts as a pianist at the various churches she attended, including
  First Baptist Church Kemp, where she had worshipped for the past 13
  years; she also provided private lessons for more than four
  decades, touching the lives of hundreds of students; and
         WHEREAS, Family was always Mrs. King's greatest joy; she
  cherished the time she spent with her grandchildren and
  great-grandchildren, and she was fond of Christmas and the
  opportunity that it gave her to buy gifts for her loved ones; she
  also delighted her family with her cooking, particularly her talent
  for making desserts; an extraordinarily selfless woman, she always
  prioritized the needs of others ahead of her own; and
         WHEREAS, Although Patricia King is profoundly missed, she
  will be remembered with lasting affection and admiration by all
  those who held her dear; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
  Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Patricia Ann King and
  extend deepest sympathy to the members of her family: to her sons,
  Ty King his wife, Debbie, and Chad King and his wife, Kim; to her
  grandchildren, Trent King, Brice King, Trevor King and his wife,
  Chancie, Dylan LaFon, Caedyn King, and Kenzee King; to her
  great-grandchildren, Kyler King and Blakely King; to her brother,
  Patrick Huckaby, and sister, Priscilla Kirby; and to her other
  relatives and 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 Patricia
  Ann King.
