H.R. No. 919
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Residents of Williamson County lost an admired
public servant and a cherished friend with the passing of Jane Ellen
Tableriou on January 6, 2009, at the age of 64; and
WHEREAS, Jane Tableriou was born in Chicago on January 3,
1945; she went on to marry Nick Tableriou on June 10, 1967, and the
couple were blessed with two children, Nicole and Brett; in 1985,
Mrs. Tableriou and her family relocated to the Lone Star State; and
WHEREAS, After settling in a new home in Georgetown, Mrs.
Tableriou soon began a distinguished tenure with Williamson County
that would span more than two decades; as the executive assistant to
the county judge, she first worked with the Honorable Don Wilson and
later with the Honorable John Doerfler; the anchor of the county
judge's office, Mrs. Tableriou earned the affectionate title,
"Judge Jane," and because she possessed an institutional knowledge
of Williamson County that few others could match, she was also
sometimes referred to as its highest-ranking nonelected official;
she built a strong partnership with Judge Doerfler, which lasted
from 1990 through 2006, when they both retired; and
WHEREAS, Committed to her colleagues, Mrs. Tableriou
remained a valuable asset to Williamson County after her
retirement; she helped plan the grand reopening celebration of the
county's historic courthouse, and she assisted employees of the
Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter, educating them on county
business and organizing their office; when she was not serving
others, she enjoyed making scrapbooks, going on cruises, and
spending time in the company of her beloved family; and
WHEREAS, Jane Tableriou enhanced the lives of her fellow
citizens in myriad ways, and memories of her will long be treasured
by all those who were fortunate enough to know her; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Jane Ellen Tableriou
and extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to her
husband of 41 years, Nick Tableriou; to her children, Nicole and
Brett Tableriou; to her sister, Charlotte Buttin; to her niece,
Melissa Pinkerton; to her nephew, Rick Buttin; and to her other
relatives and many 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 Jane Ellen
Tableriou.
