H.R. No. 1713
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The certain knowledge of a life well lived may
temper the profound sadness felt at the loss of Joy Allen Oliver of
Lorena, who passed away on March 16, 2011, at the age of 64; and
WHEREAS, Born on May 5, 1946, Ms. Oliver was the devoted
mother of four children, Jody, Larry, Shawn, and Tami; with the
passing years, she had the added pleasure of welcoming into her
family nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren; she also
cherished the company of her beloved dog, Jack; and
WHEREAS, Joy Oliver touched innumerable hearts with her
kindness and her ever-present smile, and she will be fondly
remembered and deeply missed by all those who had the good fortune
to share in the richness of her life; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Joy Allen Oliver and
extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to her sons,
Jody, Larry, and Shawn Oliver; to her daughter, Tami Oliver; to her
grandchildren, Nannette, Greg, Amanda, Justin, Jordan, Chase,
Logan, Gracie, and Lillie; to her great-grandchildren, Breonna,
Marchal, and Hunter; to her sisters, Penny Willis and Jeanne Walker
and her husband, Everett; to her lifelong friend, Sheila Clendenen;
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 Joy Allen
Oliver.
