WHEREAS, The thousands of deaths caused by COVID-19 in Texas |
|
have created a tremendous void in families, communities, and |
|
workplaces throughout the state; among those who lost their lives |
|
in the pandemic was Rebecca Adauto Crowe, a dedicated and |
|
well-respected employee of the Texas Department of Criminal |
|
Justice, who passed away on January 1, 2021, at the age of 73; and |
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Crowe was admired for her strength of character |
|
and her unfailing generosity; she was devoted to her family, which |
|
included her sons, Michael Crowe and the late Chris Crowe, her |
|
daughter-in-law, Melissa, her siblings, Olga, Julie, and Benny, and |
|
her favorite niece, Julie Adauto-Day; she pursued many hobbies and |
|
interests, which included gardening, creating stained glass art |
|
pieces, welding, and doing other projects around the home; over the |
|
past year, she had worked at the Victoria District Parole Office, |
|
where she endeared herself to her colleagues and made a lasting |
|
impression on everyone; and |
|
WHEREAS, Rebecca Crowe faithfully and ably performed her |
|
duties throughout her tenure with the Texas Department of Criminal |
|
Justice, and she will long be remembered with great admiration by |
|
all who were privileged to know her; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of |
|
Rebecca Adauto Crowe and extend deepest sympathy to her family, |
|
friends, and colleagues; 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 Rebecca |
|
Crowe. |
