of | ||
Albina Schmitz | ||
WHEREAS, A full and generous life drew to a close with the | ||
passing of Albina Ann Mages Schmitz of Gainesville on May 7, | ||
2023, at the age of 89; and | ||
WHEREAS, The former Albina Mages was born to Joe and | ||
Theresa Bayer Mages on February 15, 1934, in Muenster, and she | ||
grew up with the companionship of six siblings, Clara, Henrietta, | ||
Loreta, Norb, Louise, and Polly, and a half-brother, Edgar; she | ||
graduated from Sacred Heart Catholic High School in 1952, and she | ||
went on to become a licensed cosmetologist and to work as a | ||
hairdresser; and | ||
WHEREAS, On May 30, 1955, she was joined in matrimony to | ||
John H. Schmitz, with whom she shared a rewarding union that | ||
spanned nearly five decades; she took great pride in her five | ||
children, Joe, MaQuita, John, Steve, and the late Carmen Crowsey, | ||
and with the passing years, she had the pleasure of seeing her | ||
family grow to include seven grandchildren, Brandi, Tiffany, | ||
Shelby, Suzanne, Kenadie, Victoria, and Nicholas, and five | ||
great-grandchildren, Colton, Camryn, Lucy, Henry, and Sally; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mrs. Schmitz and her husband owned and operated | ||
Johnny's B-29 Club and Johnny's DX gas station for many years, and | ||
after the businesses were sold, she worked in a variety of jobs | ||
until her retirement; in her leisure hours, she enjoyed baking, | ||
making afghan blankets, and traveling, and she gave generously of | ||
her time and talents as a volunteer foster grandparent; a woman | ||
of strong faith, she was an active and longtime parishioner of | ||
St. Mary Catholic Church in Gainesville, where she sang in the | ||
choir, served as a member of the altar society, and coordinated | ||
communion for nursing home residents and homebound individuals; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Although she will be deeply missed, Albina | ||
Schmitz has left her family and friends with many cherished | ||
memories, and they will forever hold her close in their hearts; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the life of Albina Ann Mages | ||
Schmitz and extend sincere condolences to all who mourn her | ||
passing; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
prepared for her family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns | ||
this day, it do so in memory of Albina Schmitz. | ||
