WHEREAS, The thousands of deaths caused by COVID-19 in Texas |
|
|
have created a tremendous void in families, communities, and |
|
|
workplaces throughout the state; among those who lost their lives |
|
|
in the pandemic was Maria Garcia of Kenedy, a dedicated and |
|
|
well-respected employee of the Texas Department of Criminal |
|
|
Justice, who passed away on January 22, 2021, at the age of 60; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Garcia worked at the Connally Unit, where she |
|
|
set an example for others through her diligence, team spirit, and |
|
|
positive attitude; she was always the first to volunteer for any |
|
|
task that arose; in her free time, she enjoyed cheering on the |
|
|
Dallas Cowboys and San Antonio Spurs, with her dog, Chico, at her |
|
|
side; she was devoted to her family and also showed great kindness |
|
|
to her coworkers, often brightening their days by bringing them a Dr |
|
|
Pepper or M&Ms; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Maria Garcia faithfully and ably performed her |
|
|
duties throughout her tenure with the Texas Department of Criminal |
|
|
Justice, and she will long be remembered with great admiration by |
|
|
all who were privileged to know her; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of |
|
|
Maria Garcia and extend deepest sympathy to her family, friends, |
|
|
and colleagues; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of |
|
|
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Maria |
|
|
Garcia. |
