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 Officer Vickie James, a dedicated and |
|
|
well-respected employee of the Texas Department of Criminal |
|
|
Justice, who passed away on February 10, 2021, at the age of 59; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Officer James served on the third shift at the |
|
|
Choice Moore Unit in Bonham; when not working, she enjoyed |
|
|
collecting antiques for her home in Celeste, and she was also a |
|
|
talented artist; though she had only been with TDCJ for four years |
|
|
at the time of her passing, she was a vital member of her team and |
|
|
acted as a parental figure for her coworkers; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Vickie James 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, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of |
|
|
Officer Vickie James 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 Vickie |
|
|
James. |
