R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The family and friends of Marie Therese Kleinpeter
Chambers of Waxahachie are mourning the untimely loss of this
beloved woman, who passed away on March 14, 2019, at the age of 63;
and
WHEREAS, A native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the former Marie
Therese Kleinpeter was the daughter of John and Mary Ann Kleinpeter
and the sister of four siblings, Suzanne, Jim, Laura, and Lane; she
graduated from St. Joseph's Academy, and as a young woman, she
trained and performed in ballet under the tutelage of Phoebe
Brantley; and
WHEREAS, Her passion for animals later led Mrs. Chambers to
raise and ride horses for many years, and she was known for often
taking in stray dogs and cats and supporting various causes
benefiting animals in need; she loved spending time outdoors,
whether working in her yard or tending to her flower garden, and the
care and attention she paid to her beautiful home made it the envy
of the neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Chambers was cherished by a family that
included her husband, Jeff Chambers, her stepdaughters, Lindsey and
Shelbi, and her step-grandchildren, Zoya, Ivan, and Jack, along
with many nieces and nephews; she especially relished every
opportunity to visit the younger members of her family, whom she
showered with love and affection; and
WHEREAS, Marie Chambers enriched the lives of everyone around
her with her grace, her kindness, and her joie de vivre, and she
will forever hold a special place in the hearts of those she leaves
behind; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Marie Therese
Kleinpeter Chambers and extend deepest condolences to all who mourn
her passing; 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 Marie
Chambers.
