H.R. No. 1393 is a resolution celebrating the 100th birthday of Susie Ray Northington, a notable Texan, on January 18, 2026. Born in Evergreen, Alabama, in 1926, she grew up during the Great Depression and began her career at 18 as a messenger in Washington, D.C., during World War II. After marrying Charles William Northington in 1947 and raising three children, the family moved to Texas in 1967. Mrs. Northington contributed significantly to her community through her involvement in a pilot program for elderly care and disaster relief efforts with FEMA.

The resolution acknowledges Mrs. Northington's role as a matriarch of a large family, which now includes five grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren, and her long-standing membership at Hunters Glen Baptist Church in Plano since 1979. It expresses the Texas House of Representatives' congratulations and best wishes for her continued happiness, recognizing her as a source of wisdom and inspiration who has witnessed significant historical changes over the past century. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for her as a token of high regard.
