celebrating her 100th Birthday

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and
commend those illustrious individuals of distinguished purpose; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, it is the intent of this Legislative Body to
congratulate Doris Button upon the occasion of celebrating her 100th
Birthday; and
WHEREAS, A person's success is judged not by the material things
acquired over a lifetime, but rather by the love and respect bestowed
upon them by those with whom they have shared life's experiences; and
WHEREAS, Using that measure, Doris Button was wrapped in riches as she
celebrated her 100th Birthday on February 14, 2010; Doris possesses a
heart abounding in love for her family and she generously shares her
time, attention, friendship and affection with all who know her; and
WHEREAS, Doris was born on February 14, 1910, in Perryville, New York,
and was welcomed by her two loving parents, Sydney and Edna Chesebor-
ough; and
WHEREAS, Doris met, fell in love with and married her husband, the
late Ray, with whom she had two children, Gertrude and Raymond, or
Trudie and Bill as they are affectionately known; and
WHEREAS, When she was not busy being a devoted wife and mother, Doris
spent her time selling Avon products, which she did for 35 years, work-
ing and playing in a bowling league, which she did until she was 85, and
rooting on the Syracuse Orange basketball team, which she continues to
do today; and
WHEREAS, Now in her 100th year, Doris enriches those around her with
her zest for living; she is proud of the years she has shared with her
family and friends and they are always close to her heart; now, there-
fore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Doris Button upon the occasion of celebrating her 100th
Birthday, and wishing her abundant health and happiness in each new day
to follow; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Doris Button.
