SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 483
In Memory
of
Patricia Deelynn Tubbs
WHEREAS, The tragic passing of Patricia Deelynn Tubbs of
Hamilton on February 18, 2019, at the age of 16, has brought an
unimaginable loss to those who loved and cherished her; and
WHEREAS, Patricia Tubbs was born in Temple on December 23,
2002; when she was three weeks old, she was welcomed into the home
and the hearts of George Tubbs Sr. and Wilma Tubbs, who became her
legal guardians; although Mr. Tubbs died before the couple could
adopt her together, Ms. Tubbs was eventually granted custody,
and Patricia went on to be raised by her adoptive mother with
great care and devotion alongside Doug Mitchell, her "Papa Doug";
her circle of loved ones included many other people, and she was
especially adored by her doting aunt, Alice Ault; and
WHEREAS, A cheerful and vivacious young woman, Patricia
was at her happiest when she was spending time with her family and
friends, who relished the joy and laughter she brought to every
occasion; she loved children, animals, sports, and music; and
WHEREAS, Patricia Tubbs was a ray of light in the lives of
all those who held her dear, and though she was taken much too
soon, she leaves behind a legacy of love that will never be
forgotten; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the memory of Patricia Deelynn
Tubbs and extend deepest condolences to Wilma Tubbs, Doug
Mitchell, George Tubbs Jr., Justin Tubbs, Laverne Brown, Amy
Mitchell Butler, Chad Mitchell, Jeremy Mitchell, Jessica
Stockton, Alice Ault, and her other relatives and friends; and,
be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for her family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns
this day, it do so in memory of Patricia Deelynn Tubbs.
