“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life and legacy of Louise Hopkins Underwood, a west Texas icon who passed away Tuesday, March 7, at the age of 97. Mrs. Underwood was known as a charismatic woman with a sharp sense of humor. A woman loved by all, she was gracious, she was generous, and she was inspirational. Mrs. Underwood was the mother of six and a pioneer in her quest to promote a passion for the arts and a stronger sense of community on the south plains. Our region, which has a rich history better known for farming and ranching, is now also known for the arts, thanks to Mrs. Underwood. Ecclesiastes 7:1 says: A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth. Thank you, Mrs. Underwood. Thank you for your fragrant life and for leaving a legacy of a brighter, more colorful west Texas. God bless the Underwood family. ____________________”
