Ann Quirk Erben, Pioneer in Texas GOP passed away

Arrangements will be forthcoming

Ann Quirk Erben's daughters Molly and Nancy Shellhorse reached out to tell the Capitol community of Ann Quirk Erben's death. Erben started in Bexar County politics in 1968, worked on Richard Nixon's campaign. She worked in the offices of Gov. Bill Clements, Sen. Drew Nixon, Comptroller Carole Keeton Rylander Strayhorn and Tom Pauken. She also was the head of the Texas Women's Commission.

Here is the statement:

"It is with great sadness that the Shellhorse and Quirk Families inform you that our dear mother Ann Quirk Erben has passed away. Ann’s mark will forever be impressed on the political history of Texas. We are so proud of all her accomplishments and look towards celebrating her life with all those she knew and loved. Arrangement are being made and will be shared as soon as they are available".

Like almost everyone else that knew her, we here at Quorum Report loved Ann and her combination of shrewd political analysis and deep passion for her work and her friends. We will miss her laugh, her smile and her political realism....HK
