  • Texas First Lady Anita Perry
    Texas First Lady Anita Perry For the past nine years, Texas First Lady Anita Perry has worked to promote a number of issues to benefit Texans from all walks of life, for Texans young and old and in all parts of the state. Active in the historic preservation of Texas’ cultural landmarks and communities, the First Lady plays a dynamic role in the Texas Historical Commission’s (THC) annual Main Street program, and travels the state educating Texans on the importance of restoration and preservation in revitalizing communities. In July 2008, the THC designated a new recognition to honor communities that demonstrate a high level of creativity and ingenuity. Named the First Lady’s Texas Treasures Award, Mrs. Perry serves as honorary chair of this endeavor to bring attention to small towns that work hard to preserve their authentic Texas sense of place. Along with Texas Governor Rick Perry, Mrs. Perry is committed to enhancing Texas’ expansion into international markets and promoting Texas as a prime location for business and trade. In that capacity, and as a dedicated representative of Texas tourism and economic development, the First Lady has led missions of Texas delegates to Japan, Germany and Spain. Mrs. Perry was recently honored by the Texas Travel Industry Association with the Silver Spur Award for her support of Texas travel. Promoting Texas tourism generates billions of dollars each year for the state’s economy. Following the devastating fire at the Governor’s Mansion in June 2008, the First Lady founded the Texas Governor’s Mansion Restoration Fund. Restoration of the 154-year-old Texas treasure will come from a public/private partnership and Mrs.

  • Anita Thigpen Perry
    ANITA PERRY First Lady of Texas Health care has not just been a career, but a lifelong passion for Texas First Lady Anita Perry. From the time she was old enough to remember her father’s work as a family practice physician in Haskell, Texas, Mrs. Perry has been committed to health care issues – particularly those relating to women and children. The daughter of Dr. Joe and Beunis Thigpen, Anita Perry grew up with three siblings – Joseph, Peggy and Emily. From her parents, she learned at an early age the importance of family, graciousness and community service and continues to value their teachings. Pursuing her early interest in health care, Mrs. Perry received a bachelor’s degree in nursing from West Texas State University (now known as West Texas A&M University), and later a Master of Science in Nursing degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Her 17-year career in the health care profession included nursing in the areas of surgery, pediatrics, intensive care, consulting and administration. In 1982, after a long courtship and careers that found Rick Perry and Anita on different sides of the globe, the high school sweethearts married and started a family in Haskell. They are the proud parents of two children, son Griffin and daughter Sydney. With family as their top priority, you will often find the Governor and First Lady cheering at high school sporting events or taking part in their children’s other numerous school and church activities. As Texas’ First Lady, Mrs. Perry continues to pursue her dedication to improving the health of Texans.
