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

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
