R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The 90th birthday of an esteemed Texan is truly
cause for celebration, and Nina Sinclair of Lubbock is marking that
significant milestone on May 24, 2015; and
WHEREAS, Born in Roaring Springs in 1925 to John Duff and Myra
Kelly Green, the former Nina Lee Green grew up on the Greenland
Stock Farm and was baptized at Roaring Springs First Baptist Church
in 1936; after graduating from Roaring Springs High School in 1942,
she began her career as an artist at Koen's Studio in Lubbock, where
she initially hand-colored portraits and later worked as a
photographer and designer on the Texas Tech University yearbook;
and
WHEREAS, She was joined in matrimony to Louis Avery Sinclair
on January 18, 1946, and they made their home in Abernathy for 26
years; in 1972, they moved to Lubbock, where Mrs. Sinclair has
resided ever since; over the course of more than six decades
together, the couple became the parents of three children, David,
Terri, and Jerry, and Mrs. Sinclair devoted herself to her roles as
wife, mother, and homemaker, supporting her husband in his career
and her children in their studies and their many extracurricular
activities; she eventually knew the joy of welcoming into her
family grandchildren and great-grandchildren, to whom she is
affectionately known as "Sugar"; and
WHEREAS, Cherished by a host of loved ones and sustained by
her strong faith, Nina Sinclair has gracefully reached the 90-year
mark and continues to enrich the lives of all who are fortunate
enough to know her; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Nina Sinclair on the joyous
occasion of her 90th birthday and extend to her heartfelt best
wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mrs. Sinclair as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
