Lou Batson Presnal LOU BATSON PRESNAL March 19, 1939 - May 25, 2017 Lou Batson Presnal, 78, of Bryan, Texas passed away on May 25, 2017. Her family will receive friends and relatives from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, June 1, at Hillier Funeral Home in Bryan. A memorial service will be held on Friday, June 2, at 10 a.m. at First United Methodist Church in Bryan. Lou was born on March 19, 1939, in Madisonville, Texas, and grew up in Normangee with many aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was the daughter of Joe and Maurene (Greer) Batson. She was an accomplished pianist and singer, and lettered three years in volleyball, basketball, and cheerleading. Lou was the valedictorian of Normangee High School in 1957. Lou is lovingly remembered by her husband of 60 years, Henry L. (Sonny) Presnal. Sonny was commissioned as an officer in the United States Army, and they were married on June 1, 1957. They were stationed in Germany from 1960-1963 where Sonny served as an Army Aviator. Lou loved being an Army wife. After Sonny's military service, they returned to Texas, Sonny attended veterinary school, and they raised their family in Bryan. Their time overseas sparked a lifetime interest in travel, and Lou and Sonny traveled to England, Egypt, Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Turkey, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, Croatia, Estonia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Monaco, Russia, and Israel, and all over the United States. She especially loved going to Las Vegas. Lou was passionate about fashion, inspired by a favorite aunt. She loved music, was a beautiful singer, and encouraged her children to study music. Lou was also an avid reader. She was proud and fiercely protective of her four children. Lou was a loyal supporter of Texas A&M University and Aggie Athletics, and was especially proud that her husband and all four children graduated from Texas A&M. Although she never attended a class, Lou was a true Aggie, and she cherished her Class of 1957 sweetheart ring. Lou was President of the Auxiliary to the Texas Veterinary Medical Association for two terms (1992-1994), and was a member of The Woman's Club. She served as an advisor and was a member of the House Corporation Board for Alpha Chi Omega at Texas A&M. Lou was preceded in death by her mother and father, and is survived by her husband Sonny, her children Jeff Presnal and his wife Sandra of Tomball; Dr. Brad Presnal and his wife Heather of Columbia, South Carolina; Justin Presnal and his wife Jill of College Station; and Tara Slaydon and her husband Damon of College Station. She had nine grandchildren and one great grandson: Ryan Presnal, his wife Holly, and their son Jacob; Alexandra Presnal Van Deman and her husband Dustin; Zane, Garen and Renner Presnal; Mac and Sam Presnal; and Cade and Brock Slaydon. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial contribution in Lou's honor to the Texas A&M Association of Former Students Ring Fund, 505 George Bush Drive, College Station, Texas 77840. All contributions will be used to help veterans get their Aggie rings. Please share memories of Lou at www.hillierfuneralhome.com. .

    Leon County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan 2018 "Under the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000 or "the Act"), the participating jurisdictions are required to have a Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA") - approved Local Hazard Mitigation Plan ("the Plan") in order to be eligible for certain pre- and post-disaster mitigation funds. Adoption of this Plan by the participating jurisdictions and approval by FEMA will serve the dual objectives of providing direction and guidance on implementing hazard mitigation in the participating jurisdictions, and qualify them to obtain federal assistance for hazard mitigation. Solely to help achieve these objectives, the Plan attempts to systematically identify and address hazards that can affect the participating jurisdictions. Nothing in this Plan is intended to be an admission, either expressed or implied, by or on behalf of the participating jurisdictions, of any obligation, responsibility, duty, fault or liability for any particular hazard or hazardous condition, and no such obligation, responsibility, duty, fault or liability for the participating jurisdictions should be inferred or implied from the Plan, except where expressly stated."

  • MESSAGE from the FOUNDER
    MESSAGE f r o m t h e FOUNDER the Terry Foundation approaches its twenty-fifth JL JL anniversary next year, a modest beginning in 1986 has evolved into the states largest private source of scholarship funding for eight Texas public universities. After its first seventeen years at the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University, the Foundation expanded in 2004 to include Scholars at the University of Houston and at Texas State University-San Marcos. Later in 2006, the program expanded again to the University of Texas at San Antonio and the University of Texas at Dallas, and again in the fall of 2010 to the University of North Texas in Denton. In 2010, the Board of Directors approved additional growth for the Terry Foundation Scholarship Program to Texas Tech University in Lubbock. The first Scholars for Texas Tech were selected at interviews in April 2011 and will begin college in the fall of 2011. The Foundation is pleased to welcome this outstanding institution to the Terry program. Howard L. Terry This past April, the Foundation selected 200 new 2011 Scholars. This will bring the total number of active Terry Scholars at all eight universities to 698. The spring of 2011 also brought graduation to 133 Terry Scholars who join a growing body of Scholar Alumni that now numbers over 1,600. Our growing family of graduates are serving their communities in virtually every occupation and field of service imaginable. We greatly appreciate the many letters we get from our alumni around the world. In October of 2010, the Foundation was honored by the National Association of Scholarship Providers at its annual conference in Denver by being selected as the National Scholarship Provider of the Year.
