5	5	WHEREAS, The Round Rock community lost a greatly beloved
6	6	resident when Susan Carol Streit Blount passed away on June 25,
7	7	2007, at the age of 54; and
8	8	WHEREAS, Born in Taylor on February 5, 1953, Mrs. Blount
9	9	graduated from Taylor High School and earned a degree from Stephen
10	10	F. Austin State University; during college, she worked several
11	11	summers at the Texas Lions Camp, a facility for children with
12	12	disabilities, and the experience led her to a highly regarded
13	13	career as a speech pathologist; and
14	14	WHEREAS, The former Susan Streit was married to Larry Blount
15	15	on May 22, 1976, and she became the mother of a son and daughter,
16	16	Garrett and Rachel; her family meant the world to her, and she, to
17	17	them; and
18	18	WHEREAS, Mrs. Blount joined the Round Rock Independent School
19	19	District in 1991 as a part-time substitute teacher, and she became
20	20	the speech pathologist at Fern Bluff Elementary when that school
21	21	opened in 1992; over the next 15 years, she won the hearts of her
22	22	students through her empathy, patience, and encouragement as she
23	23	helped them overcome their challenges, and she kept track of their
24	24	progress long after they left her charge; and
25	25	WHEREAS, This gifted teacher was equally valued by her
26	26	colleagues, whose days were always brightened by her readiness to
27	27	lend an ear, her ability to offer thoughtful counsel, and her
28	28	delighted, infectious laughter; for all who knew her at Fern Bluff,
29	29	whether they were staff, students, or parents, she was an elemental
30	30	part of the school and its spirit; and
31	31	WHEREAS, In her free time, Mrs. Blount enjoyed giving rein to
32	32	her creative talents as a cook, gardener, and hostess; one of her
33	33	great joys was the vacations she took with her family to such places
34	34	as the Grand Canyon and the Gulf Coast; and
35	35	WHEREAS, Throughout her life, Susan Blount's warmth,
36	36	kindness, and irrepressible sense of fun drew people to her, and she
37	37	in turn was forever reaching out to others; she always knew, as a
38	38	student said, when something was wrong, and she would do whatever
39	39	she could to help and comfort; and
40	40	WHEREAS, A woman of deep faith, Mrs. Blount was a valued
41	41	member of her Sunday school class and the congregation at First
42	42	United Methodist Church; and
43	43	WHEREAS, Susan Blount approached life with a joyful zest and
44	44	generosity of spirit that endeared her deeply to all who knew her,
45	45	and she will be forever remembered and treasured by those who were
46	46	blessed to be a part of her world; now, therefore, be it
47	47	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
48	48	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Susan Carol Streit
49	49	Blount and extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to
50	50	her husband of 31 years, Larry Blount; to her children, Rachel and
51	51	Garrett Blount; to her mother and stepfather, Mary Jo and Gerald
52	52	Bolfing; to her brother and sister-in-law, Brad and Suzi Streit; to
53	53	her stepbrothers and stepsisters, Jerry, John, and Michael Ann
54	54	Bolfing and Patty Fulbright; to her stepsisters-in-law and
55	55	stepbrother-in-law, Kim and Gailey Bolfing and Ed Fulbright; and to
56	56	her many other relatives and friends; and, be it further
57	57	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
58	58	prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of
59	59	Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Susan Carol
60	60	Streit Blount.
