In memory of Helen Asimakis Yampanis of Dallas.
This is a ceremonial resolution (HR 809) honoring Helen Asimakis Yampanis, a Dallas resident who died in June 2024 at age 98. It recognizes her 58-year career at Neiman Marcus, her service with Greek Orthodox organizations (including leading the Daughters of Penelope), her role in founding a community pastry festival, and her family ties. The resolution, adopted by the Texas House of Representatives, extends condolences to her family and commemorates her life without creating any new laws or policies. It is purely a tribute, not a substantive legislative action.
