|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas honors and |
|
|
commemorates the life of Pamela Hsiu Lo Day, who died April 7, |
|
|
2013, at the age of 62; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This adoptive Texan led an impressive and |
|
|
well-traveled life; she was born a British subject in Calcutta, |
|
|
India, on August 15, 1950, and her family moved to Hong Kong when |
|
|
she was 10 years old; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Pamela was a student at the University of Hong |
|
|
Kong when she met her future husband, Wayne Day, in 1970; the |
|
|
couple married the following year at Grand Forks Air Force Base |
|
|
in North Dakota, and in the ensuing years, they were stationed |
|
|
overseas and lived in Turkey and the Philippines; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Day family returned to the United States in |
|
|
1976 and Pamela resumed her college education; she earned a |
|
|
bachelor's degree from Texas Wesleyan University and a master's |
|
|
degree from The University of Texas at Arlington; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For the rest of her life, Pamela remained deeply |
|
|
committed to education, and she served in the Fort Worth |
|
|
Independent School District as an adult education aide, an |
|
|
elementary school teacher, and an assistant principal before |
|
|
becoming principal of Sam Rosen Elementary School; she later |
|
|
transferred to Charles Nash Elementary School, which achieved |
|
|
Exemplary status multiple times during her 13-year tenure; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This much-loved educator was also revered outside |
|
|
the schoolhouse; she loved to laugh and play practical jokes, and |
|
|
she enjoyed operating her ham radio during her international |
|
|
travels; Pamela Day was profoundly devoted to her family, and she |
|
|
will long be remembered for her passion for life and her love of |
|
|
learning; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
|
83rd Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the |
|
|
bereaved family of Pamela Hsiu Lo Day; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
her family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the |
|
|
Texas Senate, and that when the Senate adjourns this day, it do |
