SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 796
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Gracie L. Paredes for 40 years of exemplary service |
|
with the Cameron County Sheriff's Office; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Gracie began her career with the sheriff's office |
|
as an administrative secretary on September 14, 1978; due to a |
|
lack of women officers in her early years of employment, she |
|
often assisted the deputies with cases involving females; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In the course of her long career, Gracie provided |
|
assistance to various law enforcement agencies, county judges, |
|
commissioners, and colleagues, and she earned the respect and |
|
admiration of the citizens of Cameron County; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Gracie Paredes manifested uncommon talent in |
|
handling her diverse responsibilities, and she was widely |
|
admired for her kind smile, her patient demeanor, and her |
|
willingness to assist wherever she was needed; she retired from |
|
the Cameron County Sheriff's Office in November of 2018, and her |
|
presence has been greatly missed; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th |
|
Legislature, hereby commend Gracie L. Paredes on her outstanding |
|
career and her many contributions to Cameron County and extend to |
|
her best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
her as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
