SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 81
	In Memory
	of
	Jane Littlejohn
	WHEREAS, Family and friends are mourning the loss of Alice
	Jane Boulter Littlejohn of Marshall, who passed away on November 7,
	2023, at the age of 93; and
	WHEREAS, The daughter of Robert Spurgeon Boulter and Cecil
	Taylor Boulter, the former Jane Boulter was born in Swan on
	September 21, 1930; she met her future husband, Orin Littlejohn, as
	a student at North Texas State Teachers College, and she went on to
	complete her bachelor's degree in drama education at The University
	of Texas at Austin; after Dr. Littlejohn completed his training as
	a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, they married and lived in Apple
	Valley, California; Mrs. Littlejohn taught school in Victorville
	before returning to Texas for the birth of her first child, Robert;
	she then earned her elementary school teaching certificate at
	Stephen F. Austin State College and taught in Dallas for several
	years while her husband completed medical school; once settled in
	Marshall, they were blessed with a daughter, Eleeza; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Littlejohn was dedicated to her community and
	served as president of the Marshall Medical Auxiliary and as a
	member of the Harrison County Historical Society, the Marshall
	Symphony Orchestra, La Belle Maison, and Republican Women of
	Harrison County Texas; in addition, she taught Sunday school at
	First Presbyterian Church and was involved in the women's ministry;
	she and her husband were greatly inspired by the citywide Festivals
	of Faith in the early 1970s and traveled to churches across the
	Southwest as members of numerous Covenant Fellowship of
	Presbyterians lay renewal teams; in the 1980s, they played key
	roles in the founding of Evangelical Presbyterian Church of
	Marshall; each morning, they prayed and read the Bible together,
	memorizing passages; they were active in Marshall Prayer Force, A
	Praying Life Seminars, and the National Evangelical Presbyterian
	Church as well; a gracious hostess, Mrs. Littlejohn welcomed
	countless relatives, friends, and acquaintances from across the
	country and around the world into her home, for an evening or for
	weeks; she was an incurable optimist who saw the best in others and
	freely offered encouragement to everyone she met; and
	WHEREAS, Jane Littlejohn brightened the days of innumerable
	people through her kindness, wry sense of humor, and whimsical
	flare for the dramatic, and although she is sadly missed by those
	she left behind, they will treasure their memories of her devotion
	to her family and faith; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
	Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of
	Jane Littlejohn and extend sincere sympathy to the members of her
	family:  to her children, Dr. Robert Littlejohn and his wife,
	Teresa, and Eleeza Littlejohn Rex and her husband, Robert; to her
	grandchildren, David Littlejohn, Katelyn Kirnie, Logan Rex, Parker
	Rex, Katherine Hely, and Alison Rex; to her seven
	great-grandchildren; and to her many 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 Alice Jane Boulter Littlejohn.
	Hughes
