WHEREAS, Friends and family are mourning the loss of Laura
Louise McClung of Dallas, who passed away on April 11, 2009; and
WHEREAS, The daughter of Karl and Lula Bronson White, the
former Laura White was initially raised in Lancaster before moving
to Dallas during her childhood; she attended Hockaday School and
Southern Methodist University and was a lifelong member of the
Preston Road Church of Christ; and
WHEREAS, Although she knew the sorrow of losing her first
husband, John Robert Marshall, who was killed in World War II, she
had the good fortune to find love a second time with Dr. Hugh L.
McClung; the couple enjoyed a rewarding marriage that extended
until Dr. McClung passed away, and they raised a loving family that
included their two children, Laura and Hugh; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. McClung was an active participant in her
community, with memberships in the Dallas Woman's Club, the Dallas
Doctors Wives Auxiliary, the Seneca Book Review, the Marianne
Scruggs Garden Club, the Dallas Garden Club, and the Garden Study
Club; her passion and skill for flower arranging were widely
respected, and she won several blue ribbons and two tricolor
ribbons for her work; and
WHEREAS, Known for the humor, kindness, and wisdom she shared
with her loved ones, Laura McClung was devoted to her family and
also took great comfort in her spiritual faith; she is deeply
missed, but she will forever hold a place in the hearts of those who
held her dear; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Laura Louise McClung
and extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to her
children, Laura Bronson McClung and Dr. Hugh Lawson McClung; 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 Laura
McClung.
