FULL TEXT:
WHEREAS, Margie Derouen Provost celebrated her 90th birthday on May 13, 2017, and this occasion provides a welcome opportunity for family and friends to express the love and affection they hold for her; and WHEREAS, Born in 1927, Mrs. Provost shared a fulfilling marriage with her husband, Wilson Joseph Provost, before his passing, and she is the mother of four children, Lorraine Butler, Joseph Allen Provost, Judy Thomas, and Brenda Faye McCall; and WHEREAS, Mrs. Provost enjoys spending time with her family, which has grown to include grandchildren and great-grandchildren; she takes trips with her daughters, visits relatives in Louisiana, and spends nights at her sister-in-law's home; in addition, she likes to cook for her loved ones as well as dine out with them, and she takes pleasure in baking cakes and cookies for her circle of admirers; she makes candy as well, and after a family vote, it has been determined that hers is the best; and WHEREAS, A woman of faith, Mrs. Provost attends church regularly, says her rosary, and reads the Bible; she also takes care of Gia, the family pet, although she would perhaps sometimes rather be watching Judge Judy or going to the movies or the casino; given her august status as the matriarch of the family, it is no doubt fitting that her favorite color is royal blue; and WHEREAS, Blessed with a devoted family and admiring friends, Margie Derouen Provost is a source of joy and inspiration to all who have the great privilege of knowing her and sharing in the richness of her life; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas Legislature hereby congratulate Margie Derouen Provost on the occasion of her 90th birthday and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Mrs. Provost as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
