R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Memories of a life well lived may help to comfort the
loved ones of Caroline Virginia Ellwood Sullivan of San Antonio,
who passed away on March 29, 2021, at the age of 73; and
WHEREAS, The former Carol Ellwood was born in Mexico City on
August 15, 1947; she attended Limestone College in Gaffney, South
Carolina, and on August 10, 1968, she married John Paul Sullivan in
her hometown of Mexico City; her husband's 21-year career in the
United States Army took the couple abroad to Turkey and Panama, as
well as to various postings in Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, and
Washington, D.C.; after Mr. Sullivan retired from his military
career, they resided in Eagle Pass and in San Antonio; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Sullivan was the loving mother of two children,
Caroline Cecelia and John Richard; she was also devoted to her
Episcopalian faith, and she volunteered her time with the Altar
Guild; other organizations that benefited from her involvement were
the Girl Scouts, Rotary International, and the Library Foundation
of Eagle Pass; and
WHEREAS, Always warm and welcoming, Mrs. Sullivan embodied
the saying "Mi casa es tu casa" as she graciously opened her home to
extended family, friends, neighbors, and others, and she was a
superb cook who was especially known for her enchiladas suizas; she
blessed those around her through her many acts of kindness, as well
as through her deep loyalty and her optimistic worldview; and
WHEREAS, Although Carol Sullivan is deeply missed, all those
who held her dear will forever remember the joy, laughter, and love
that she brought into their lives; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Caroline Virginia
Ellwood Sullivan and extend heartfelt sympathy to her family and
friends; 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 Carol
Sullivan.
