SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 767
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas takes great
pleasure in recognizing Maye Frances Hainsworth-Hutson, who is
celebrating her 100th birthday on May 8, 2013; and
WHEREAS, Maye was born the year before World War I began,
and as a centenarian, she has witnessed the passing of many a
milestone; yet she has always been a person ahead of her time: an
African American woman who obtained a college degree at a time
when few women did so; she is an accomplished musician who toured
the United States in her 20s, and she is a dedicated public
servant who joined the American workforce well before the onset
of World War II; and
WHEREAS, Over the years, Maye Hutson has lived a rich and
accomplished life; as a public school music teacher, she has
expanded the horizons of countless young students; as a mentor to
numerous African American women, she has illuminated the path to
success; and as a civil servant, she has applied her energy and
skills in her work with the Harris County Emergency Relief
Department and the United States Naval Supply Depot in Oakland,
California; and
WHEREAS, A life member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority,
Incorporated, she has been an active member of Xi Alpha Omega
Chapter since 1981; and
WHEREAS, Throughout her many triumphs and achievements,
Mrs. Hutson has been a font of wisdom and encouragement for all
those who have known her, and she remains an exemplary role model
for her many students and protégés; it is fitting, then, that the
long and eventful life of this centenarian be honored; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
83rd Legislature, hereby commend Maye Frances Hainsworth-Hutson on
the auspicious occasion of her 100th birthday and extend to her
sincere best wishes for a joyous celebration; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
her as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
