by a great and enduring love, Ed and Nancy Billingsley of Lamesa
reached a meaningful milestone in their relationship when they
celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary; and
WHEREAS, Ed Billingsley and the former Nancy Goolsby were
united in matrimony on January 1, 1961; through the years, they have

David, and Leigh Ann Fry and her husband, Randy, and four cherished
grandchildren; and
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Billingsley celebrated this momentous
anniversary with an Alaskan cruise in 2010, which was a

in travel, they enjoy spending time with their family and
collecting antiques and have been longtime members of the Lamesa
Church of Christ; and
WHEREAS, While much has changed in the world over the past
half-century, this devoted husband and wife have remained constant
in their commitment to one another, and the strength of their love
has enabled them to meet life's challenges and opportunities with
grace and optimism; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Ed and Nancy Billingsley on their
golden wedding anniversary and extend to them sincere best wishes
for continued happiness; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Billingsley as an expression of high
regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
