WHEREAS, Rosalia D. Zuehl of San Antonio passed away on |
|
|
August 14, 2014, at the age of 94, drawing to a close a long life |
|
|
filled with warm memories and meaningful achievements; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The former Rosalia Dylla was born on May 7, 1920, to |
|
|
John and Lucy Dylla in St. Hedwig, a town established by her Polish |
|
|
ancestors; she went on to exchange wedding vows with Henry Zuehl and |
|
|
shared many happy years of marriage with him before his passing; the |
|
|
couple traveled extensively throughout his military career, living |
|
|
in locations that spanned Europe and the Pacific, and lovingly |
|
|
raised a daughter, Antoniette, and three sons, Henry, Joseph, and |
|
|
James; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, At her home in Texas, Mrs. Zuehl continued to |
|
|
support veterans of the armed forces through her membership in the |
|
|
American Legion Auxiliary of H. U. Wood Post 245 in Seguin and in |
|
|
the VFW Post 4815 Women's Auxiliary, which she served as a chaplain |
|
|
and patriotic instructor; a devout Catholic, she was a congregant |
|
|
and founding member of St. Lawrence Catholic Church in San Antonio, |
|
|
and she benefited St. Lawrence Parish as a volunteer and teacher's |
|
|
assistant; she also shared her time as an economics researcher for |
|
|
the American Chamber of Commerce Research Association, collecting |
|
|
cost-of-living data for the organization through the Greater San |
|
|
Antonio Chamber; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Zuehl was a caring and devoted mother who |
|
|
watched with joy as her family grew to include grandchildren, many |
|
|
of whom have served their country proudly in the military; blessed |
|
|
with an array of talents and interests, she excelled at needlework |
|
|
and delighted in cooking and baking for her loved ones, often with |
|
|
nothing but her sense of taste as inspiration; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This dynamic woman was likewise fond of hunting, |
|
|
fishing, and all things related to farm and ranch life, of which she |
|
|
had an impressive breadth of knowledge; having come of age during |
|
|
the Great Depression, she seldom took anything for granted, and she |
|
|
savored simple pleasures like reading letters, tending to her |
|
|
garden, and watching the birds that landed in her yard; she had a |
|
|
deep love of music and dancing, and she could often be found playing |
|
|
her harmonica well into her golden years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although she is profoundly missed, Rosalia Zuehl |
|
|
leaves behind comforting recollections of her wisdom, generosity, |
|
|
compassion, and spirit that will forever be cherished by those who |
|
|
held her dear; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Rosalia D. Zuehl and |
|
|
extend heartfelt sympathy to the members of her family: to her |
|
|
daughter, Antoniette Rosalia Zuehl Moorhouse; to her sons, Henry J. |
|
|
Zuehl and his wife, Sydney, Joseph V. Zuehl and his wife, Marcela, |
|
|
and James V. Zuehl and his wife, Darlene; to her 12 grandchildren; |
|
|
and to her other relatives and friends; 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 Rosalia |
|
|
Zuehl. |
