WHEREAS, The passing of Shirley-Mae Jane King of Ingram on
April 7, 2008, at the age of 74, has deeply saddened all those who
were fortunate enough to know her; and
WHEREAS, Born in Deshler, Nebraska, to Dahl and Leona
Thompson, Mrs. King grew up in Nebraska and Kansas; while living in
Wichita, Kansas, she met William Jefferson "Jeff" King, and the two
were married in 1951; the couple shared many happy times through the
years and together welcomed three children and four grandchildren
into their family; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. King helped provide for her loved ones through
her employment with Beech Aircraft, where she worked for 35 years;
throughout her life, she enjoyed listening to sacred music as well
as studying scripture and teaching others about its meaning; and
WHEREAS, A resident of Ingram since 1992, this kind and
gracious woman lived a life that was centered around her family and
friends, and she will forever hold a treasured place in their
hearts; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Shirley-Mae Jane King

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
Shirley-Mae Jane King.
