  In Memory
  of
  Angela Farias
 
         WHEREAS, Countless lives were touched by the kindness and
  generosity of Angela Maria Farias of San Antonio, who passed away
  on January 8, 2020, at the age of 70; and
 
         WHEREAS, Born in Laredo on February 16, 1949, the former
  Angie Rodriguez was the daughter of Felipe and Jane Rodriguez;
  she grew up with two brothers, Phillip and David, and graduated
  from McCollum High School; later, she joined the staff of the
  Harlandale Independent School District, and she loved working at
  her alma mater, where her sweet smile and sunny disposition
  brightened the days of colleagues and students alike; and
 
         WHEREAS, She married Joe Farias on July 18, 1970, and they
  became the parents of four treasured sons, Gabriel, Joey, Daniel,
  and Jaime; while her children were young, she encouraged them in
  all their athletic activities, taking many weekend road trips to
  cheer them on, and their friends were also beneficiaries of her
  motherly care and affection; she later took pride in becoming a
  grandmother, and she delighted in attending her grandchildren's
  events, from school carnivals and plays to sports competitions
  and award ceremonies; eventually, she knew the joy of becoming a
  great-grandmother as well; and
 
         WHEREAS, Dedicated to her South Side community, Ms. Farias
  was active in civic life, and she enthusiastically supported her
  husband's endeavors during his tenure in the Texas House of
  Representatives; he credited her with making him a better public
  servant, and he liked to assert that she was actually the bigger
  vote-getter; ever pleased to further expand the definition of
  family, she welcomed his office staff into the fold; she was
  commissioned as a Yellow Rose of Texas by Governor Ann Richards;
  and
 
         WHEREAS, Angie Farias lived a life that was rich in family,
  friends, and community engagement, and those who were privileged
  to share in her love and affection will forever hold her close in
  their hearts; now, therefore, be it
 
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
