WHEREAS, The untimely death of Rosalva Arroyo Soria on May |
|
|
22, 2020, and of her husband, Leobardo Soria on June 10, 2020, |
|
|
brought a profound sense of loss to their family and friends; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The couple, who both passed away at the age of 64, |
|
|
were cherished members of the El Paso community; they shared a |
|
|
rewarding marriage that spanned 47 years, and they were the devoted |
|
|
parents of three children, Lisa, Carlos, and Bonnie; over the |
|
|
years, their family further grew to include six grandchildren, |
|
|
Samantha, Leo, Jacob, Leah, Amber, and Crystal, and two |
|
|
great-grandchildren, Violet and Sage, all of whom brought them |
|
|
great pride and joy; and |
|
|

|
|
"Rosie" and "Mima," was the daughter of Margarita and Andrés Arroyo |
|
|
and the sister of six siblings, Virginia, Miguel, Marco, Evelyn, |
|
|
Andrés, and Nora; a treasured matriarch, she always took care to |
|
|
remind her family members of how much they were loved; moreover, she |
|
|
found pleasure in cooking and crocheting, and she delighted in |
|
|
bringing everyone together for the holidays; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Leobardo Soria, who was variously called "Leo," |
|
|
"Mr. Leo," and "Pipa," was one of Sara and Juan Soria's seven |
|
|
children; he grew up with the companionship of his siblings, |
|
|
Rachel, Mary, Irma, Patricia, Cecilio, and Millie, and he went on to |
|
|
enjoy a fulfilling career as a security guard at Carroll T. Welch |
|
|
Elementary School; he was known for his humor and kindness, and his |
|
|
hobbies included tending to his beautiful garden and cheering on |
|
|
the Dallas Cowboys; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although Rosie and Leo Soria are deeply missed, the |
|
|
wonderful memories they leave behind will long inspire those who |
|
|
held them dear; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the lives of Rosalva Arroyo Soria |
|
|
and Leobardo Soria and extend heartfelt condolences to their family |
|
|
and friends; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for their family and that when the Texas House of |
|
|
