WHEREAS, The untimely death of Lisa Rachelle Freeman Anderson
of San Marcos on February 25, 2017, at the age of 51, brought a great
loss to her family and friends; and
WHEREAS, The daughter of Jimmie Yancy Freeman and Edith Mae
Adams Freeman, the former Lisa Freeman was born on March 11, 1965,
in Anchorage, Alaska, where her father was serving in the U.S. Air
Force; she met her future husband, Brete Anderson, while completing
her bachelor's degree in sociology at Southwest Texas State
University; and
WHEREAS, The Andersons became the proud parents of a
daughter, Evalyn Rachelle Anderson, and Ms. Anderson found her true
passion in raising her; she helped nurture her talents and took
enormous delight in every one of her accomplishments, as she also
did in encouraging her family members in their interests and
pastimes; all the happy times they spent together, from listening
to music to relaxing at the beach or along the San Marcos River,
filled her with joy; and
WHEREAS, Through the years, Ms. Anderson was a tremendous
source of wisdom and support to her husband in his work for the
Texas Legislature; even during her illness, she urged him to
dedicate as much time as he could to his important endeavors in
behalf of their fellow citizens; and
WHEREAS, Lisa Anderson immeasurably enriched the lives of all
who were fortunate enough to know her, and those she has left behind
will forever treasure their memories of her quirky sense of humor,
her kindness, and her boundless devotion to her family; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Lisa Anderson and
extend deepest sympathy to her loved ones; 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 Lisa
Rachelle Freeman Anderson.
