|
| |
| |
|
|
In Memory |
|
|
of |
|
|
June Chenault |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, A full and generous life drew to a close with the |
|
|
passing of L. June Chenault of Henderson on June 7, 2025, at the |
|
|
age of 88; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The daughter of James Overton Crider and Mary Lola |
|
|
Richardson Crider, the former June Crider was born in Corsicana |
|
|
on May 26, 1937, and she grew up with the companionship of two |
|
|
sisters, Mary Jim and Jo Lynn; she later moved with her family to |
|
|
Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she graduated in 1955 from Central High |
|
|
School; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In the 1970s, Mrs. Chenault embarked on a |
|
|
rewarding career in childcare when she opened the Northlake |
|
|
Creative Learning Center in Coppell, which she operated for more |
|
|
than two decades; she later owned or directed a number of other |
|
|
childcare facilities in East Texas; her lifelong love for |
|
|
children was further evident in the time she spent serving in |
|
|
various leadership positions with her local Girl Scout and Boy |
|
|
Scout troops, as well as with the parent-teacher association; a |
|
|
woman of strong faith, she was a valued member of the Broad Street |
|

|
|
the youth ministry and church events; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Chenault took great pride in her three |
|
|
children, Cheryl, David, and James, and with the passing years, |
|
|
she had the pleasure of seeing her treasured family grow to include |
|
|
seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; she was preceded |
|
|
in death by her husbands, Harrison Chenault and Roy Bailey; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although June Chenault is deeply missed, memories |
|
|
of her strength of character and her devotion to caring for |
|
|
others remain to comfort and inspire those she leaves behind; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th |
|
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life |
|
|
of L. June Chenault and extend sincere condolences to the members |
|

|
|
grandchildren, April, Ashley, Abbey, Peyton, Lara, Emery, and |

|
|
