Carrollton proclaims Pride
May 12, 2021 |
The Carrollton City Council issued a proclamation at its meeting Tuesday, May 11, marking June 5 as Carrollton Pride Day.
The proclamation recalls the raid at the Stonewall Inn that marked the beginning of the modern LGBTQ rights era and notes that the LGBTQ community “from youth to senior citizens, have the right to feel safe, not be discriminated against and not live with the threat of harassment and persecution.”
It further states the “Carrollton City leadership and staff have committed to make the city an LGBTQ friendly, welcoming, and inclusive community for ALL.”
Carrollton businessman and resident Bob McCranie said, “Over the last 18+ years the city has gone from open homophobia to tolerance to acceptance of LGBTQ individuals and families. Our next journey is representation on city boards, commissions, and the City Council. The diversity of our city is our strength. The diversity of our city is our future.”
She has been described as a âkind and generous mentor,â âa mighty force in a small package,â and âa woman with elegance, generosity, selflessness, grit and integrity.â
Paris lost a true community servant when Pat Cochran left this Earth last week after a four-month battle with complications of the deadly novel coronavirus that has taken so many of our friends and loved ones.
My heart goes out to her husband, Dr. Ernest Cochran, of Texas Oncology Center, and to their sons, James Paul, Trace and Matthew. And, I lament the loss of one of Godâs true servants, who gave so much back to the community she loved.
On April 18, Pat Cochran was united with her mother, Bernadette, in Heaven, ending her gallant four-month battle with COVID complications. She will be greatly missed by her family and her many friends.
Her journey in this life began on Nov. 24, 1956, in Brooklyn, New York. In her adolescence, her family moved to New Fairfield, Connecticut where she graduated from Immaculate High School. She then pursued a Bachelor of Science degree from State University of New York at Albany, graduating Magna Cum Laude. She then moved to Galveston, Texas where she was initially a staff surgery nurse at UTMB while ultimately progressing to head nurse on the renal transplant unit for several years. In her spare time, she obtained a Master of Science in Nursing from UTMB. While in Galveston she met her soulmate Dr. Ernest Cochran, and they were married in 1982.
