WHEREAS, The tragic loss of Terry Glenn Bailey, 54, and his
wife, Pamela Hitt Bailey, 57, of Center on February 15, 2017, has
deeply saddened their family and friends and the many people in
their community whose lives they touched; and
WHEREAS, Born in Center on March 13, 1962, Terry Bailey was
the son of Millard and Charlotte Bailey; a self-made businessman,
he found success in the logging and oil industries and went on to
establish and own a multitude of different companies over the
course of his lifetime; and
WHEREAS, The former Pamela Hitt was born on August 26, 1959,
to Charles and Ann Hitt, and she graduated from Stephen F. Austin
State University with a degree in business; after marrying Terry
Bailey on September 27, 1980, she became the anchor of their
treasured family, which grew to include two children, Carmen and
Dustin, and four grandchildren, Falon, Ivy, Trevor, and Taygan; and
WHEREAS, This devoted husband and wife were ideal partners,
and together, they invested in their community by turning over
start-up businesses to budding entrepreneurs and purchasing land to
build schools and churches; they were also the owners of a deer
breeding facility in Center, and as lifetime members of the Texas
Deer Association, they forged numerous friendships and made vital
contributions to the deer industry across the country; with
Mr. Bailey's larger-than-life personality and Mrs. Bailey's innate
kindness, they shared a natural ability to uplift and inspire
others, and they thrived on the joy of having a close-knit family
and a wealth of cherished friends and colleagues; and
WHEREAS, Although tragedy has brought an untimely end to the
lives of these two beloved Texans, Terry and Pam Bailey leave behind
a legacy of dedication to their family and their community that will
be remembered and admired for many years to come; now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the lives of Terry and Pamela
Bailey and extend heartfelt sympathy to their relatives and many
friends; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for their family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Terry and
Pamela Bailey.
