SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 591
|
|
|
WHEREAS, A 55th wedding anniversary marks a lifetime of |
|
|
mutual devotion and shared experiences, and John and Kay English |
|
|
of Mineola celebrated this joyous milestone in their marriage on |
|
|
October 24, 2024; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, John Perry English and the former Alice Kay Chaney |
|
|
graduated from Mineola High School in the early 1960s, and they |
|
|
were joined in matrimony in 1969; over the years, they have been |
|
|
blessed with a treasured family that includes their son and |
|
|
daughter-in-law, Chan and April English, as well as their |
|
|
grandchildren, Kathryn, Jakob, and Ashlyn; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Both retired, Mrs. English worked as a registered |
|
|
nurse, and Mr. English was a certified public accountant with a |
|
|
master's degree in business administration from Southern |
|
|
Methodist University and a bachelor's degree in finance |
|
|
administration; the couple lived in Dallas during the early years |
|
|
of their marriage while Mr. English held positions with the |
|

|
|
Corporation, as well as with Clint Murchison, whom he assisted |
|
|
with various bank acquisitions; they returned home to Mineola in |
|
|
1979 to run the Humble Oil and Refining Company distributorship |
|
|
in Wood County, where they also owned five gas stations; over the |
|
|
years, they have become valued members of the community and have |
|
|
enjoyed a number of memorable trips to such destinations as |
|
|
France, Germany, Amsterdam, Switzerland, and Austria; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The more than five and a half decades of marriage |
|
|
that Mr. and Mrs. English have shared is eloquent affirmation of |
|
|
the meaning of love and commitment, and their enduring union is |
|
|
an inspiration to all who know them; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby congratulate John and Kay English on their |
|
|
55th wedding anniversary and extend to them sincere best wishes |
|
|
for continued happiness; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. and Mrs. English as an expression of high regard |
|
|
from the Texas Senate. |
