H.R. No. 2698
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Lois Hughey Wynne Erisman, the treasured matriarch
of a loving family, passed away on April 12, 2009, at the age of 98;
and
WHEREAS, Born on October 10, 1910, to Jim and Minnie Lisman,
the former Lois Lisman attended Garrett High School and served with
the U.S. Postal Service as assistant postmaster in Palmer; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Erisman knew the sadness of losing three
husbands, but each of her marriages brought new loved ones into her
life; she was first married to Harris Hughey, and she later wed Dick
Wynne and, finally, Dr. Robert Erisman; Mrs. Erisman had three
children of her own, Ray and Wallace Hughey and Sue Peace, who
preceded her mother in death; in addition, Mr. Wynne's daughter,
Rosemary, became part of the family, as did the children of Dr.
Erisman, Robert, Neita, and Myrna; Mrs. Erisman never considered
any of the children as a "stepchild" and loved each of them with all
of her heart; and
WHEREAS, Possessing a keen mind and a lively personality,
Lois Erisman continued to play a central role in her family until
the time of her passing and was a formidable bridge player even in
her 98th year; she lived a full and generous life, and she will
forever be remembered with great fondness by all those who shared in
her journey; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Lois Hughey Wynne
Erisman and extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to
her children, Ray Hughey and his wife, Kay, Wallace Hughey and his
wife, Rosemary, Rosemary Alderdice, Robert Erisman, Jr., Neita
Satterwhite, and Myrna Ranne; to her grandchildren and
great-grandchildren; to her sisters, Delma Farrar and Olene
Lindner; 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 Lois
Erisman.
