SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 749
WHEREAS, Louise Kanold of Mineola celebrated her 102nd
birthday on April 18, 2017, to the delight of her family and
friends; and
WHEREAS, Born in Baltimore in 1915, Mrs. Kanold moved to
California early in her marriage; she and her husband resided in
Costa Mesa for many years, and they performed together as members
of the Funtastiks dance troupe, which entertained residents of
senior centers and nursing homes for three decades; on the occasion
of their 50th wedding anniversary, the couple received the key to
the city of Costa Mesa for their outstanding contributions as
volunteers; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Kanold shared a fulfilling relationship of
63 years with her husband before his passing; for the past
decade, she has lived with her daughter, Carol Black, and her
husband, Harold; she still enjoys singing, and she spends much of
her time crocheting beautiful gifts for others, from pot holders
and scarves to more elaborate items; every day, she walks for
about 20 minutes, sampling judiciously from any candy dishes she
may happen to encounter along the way; and
WHEREAS, Louise Kanold is a source of tremendous
inspiration, and in sharing the experience gained through more than
a century of life well lived, she bestows a precious gift of wisdom
that benefits all who are fortunate enough to know her; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby congratulate Louise Kanold on her 102nd
birthday and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued
happiness; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
Mrs. Kanold as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
