SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 313
|
|
WHEREAS, The 100th birthday of an esteemed Texan is indeed |
|
cause for celebration, and Cynthia Horn of Carthage marked this |
|
momentous milestone in her life on March 1, 2023, to the delight |
|
of her family and friends; and |
|
WHEREAS, Born in 1923, the former Cynthia Carter studied |
|
fashion and design in New York City until the outbreak of World |
|
War II, when her family urged her to return to Texas; she married |
|
Arthur J. Leedy on July 6, 1945, and they were blessed with five |
|
children, Marion, Hal, Patrick, Cully, and Ruthie; through the |
|
years, her treasured family grew to include 13 grandchildren and |
|
23 great-grandchildren; the couple shared a fulfilling |
|
relationship of 51 years until Mr. Leedy's passing; fortunate |
|
enough to find love a second time, she wed Luther Cleo Horn on |
|
August 17, 2002; Mr. Horn passed away in 2005; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Horn is a talented artist, and she has |
|
enjoyed drawing cartoons, cookbook illustrations, and |
|
caricatures of her friends; for many years, she sang in the choir |
|
at First Presbyterian Church in Orange; later, she attended the |
|
Episcopal Church in Carthage; she volunteered extensively for |
|
church functions and at Mission Carthage; through her kindness, |
|
optimism, and sincerity, she has earned the admiration of |
|
innumerable people, and her wonderful sense of humor brightens |
|
the days of all around her; and |
|
WHEREAS, Cynthia Horn is a source of tremendous |
|
inspiration, and in sharing the experience gained through a |
|
century of life well lived, she bestows a precious gift of |
|
wisdom that benefits all who are privileged to know her; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
|
Legislature, hereby congratulate Cynthia Horn on her 100th |
|
birthday and extend sincere best wishes for continued happiness; |
|
and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
prepared for Mrs. Horn as an expression of high regard from the |
|
Texas Senate. |
