enthusiastic member of the Lassos; and
WHEREAS, She married her childhood sweetheart, Charles
Ralls McClintick, on January 3, 1942, and the couple had three

McClintick was a member of the Olmos Park Garden Club and the
Daughters of the Confederacy; she was a volunteer for Boysville
and a member of the Laurel Heights United Methodist Church; and
WHEREAS, A woman of courage, strength, and compassion, she
gave generously to others, and her wisdom, forthrightness, and
valued counsel will not be forgotten by those who knew her; and
WHEREAS, She was a devoted wife and mother, and she will be
remembered with affection and admiration by all who were
privileged to share in her life; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st
Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the bereaved
family of Constance H. McClintick: her sons and
