SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 879
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Pauline Moore of Brownwood on the grand occasion of her
105th birthday; and
WHEREAS, Pauline Moore was born May 4, 1912, in Macon,
Georgia; she graduated from Wesleyan College in Macon and went on
to earn a master's degree in religious education from the Woman's
Missionary Union Training School in Louisville, Kentucky; and
WHEREAS, During her time in Louisville, her future
husband, the late John Allen Moore, proposed to her in a letter
while he was serving as a missionary in Yugoslavia; they were
married in Rome in 1940 and enjoyed 56 years of marriage together
until John passed away; and
WHEREAS, They served together as missionaries in
Yugoslavia until they were forced out by the Nazis, whereupon
they continued their work in Austria and Switzerland; in 1951,
they adopted two children, Edward and Marilyn, from children's
homes in Germany; in 1978, the family moved to Brownwood, where
Mrs. Moore was active at First Baptist Church for many years; and
WHEREAS, Pauline Moore has lived through times and
experienced events that many people only know through history
books; her life has given her a unique perspective on today's
society, and there is much to be learned from the wisdom she has
gained over the years; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Moore is a beloved and respected member of
her community; she is noted for her warmth, her wit, and her wise
counsel, and her enthusiasm for living each day to the fullest is
an inspiration to others; now, therefore, be it
