H.R. No. 2218
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, No words can diminish the pain caused by a life ended
far too soon, but the loved ones of Katrina Harrington of Joshua may
find comfort in their memories of this brave and selfless woman, who
passed away on April 23, 2013, at the age of 43; and
WHEREAS, Born in Houston on April 12, 1970, Kat Harrington
married her high school sweetheart, Doyle Harrington, on August 27,
1990; they later became the parents of two cherished daughters,
Shelby and Heather; while the girls were small, she served as the
contractor for the family's first home in Magnolia, and after they
were both enrolled in school, she became a successful real estate
agent; and
WHEREAS, In 2010, Ms. Harrington was diagnosed with cancer,
and while courageously battling her illness and taking care of her
family, she dedicated herself to helping others; she founded a
nonprofit organization, Go. Fight. Win., to raise awareness of
colon cancer, especially in younger adults, and she took every
opportunity to stress the vital role of colonoscopies in early
diagnosis; throughout her struggle, she remained determined to
enjoy every moment and make a meaningful difference in the lives of
others, and she benefited innumerable people through her empathy,
encouragement, and wisdom; and
WHEREAS, Kat Harrington brought joy to all who were fortunate
enough to know her, and although she is deeply missed, her strength,
steadfast faith, and tremendous generosity will remain a lasting
source of inspiration; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Katrina Harrington
and extend sincere condolences to the members of her family: to her
husband of 23 years, Doyle Harrington; to her daughters, Shelby and
Heather Harrington; to her mother, Mary Campise; to her brother,
Phillip Campise, Jr.; to her sisters, Elizabeth Burget and her
husband, Dennis, Sherrie Grigg and her husband, Billy, and Cristina
Werner and her husband, David; and to her many 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 Kat
Harrington.
