WHEREAS, Stacy Furdek of Lubbock passed away on May 26, 2011, | ||
at the age of 45, leaving her circle of family and friends to | ||
cherish their many happy memories of time spent in her company; and | ||
WHEREAS, The daughter of Jim and Diana Richards, the former | ||
Stacy Rene Richards was born in Lubbock on October 29, 1965; she | ||
graduated from Odessa Permian High School and earned her master's | ||
degree in English/American literature from Texas Tech University; | ||
after teaching English at Mackenzie Middle School, she joined the | ||
faculty at Frenship High School, and she also taught at the Smith | ||
Unit in Lamesa; her experience there led her to work with the | ||
Lubbock County Jail to develop a GED program for prisoners; in | ||
addition, she was a freelance writer and was conducting research | ||
for a book on women on death row; and | ||
WHEREAS, She married Stephen Furdek in Lubbock on June 1, | ||
1998, and welcomed his son, Nicholas, as her first child; on August | ||
16, 2000, the couple became the parents of Christopher, who | ||
inherited his mother's blue eyes and blond hair; Ms. Furdek was | ||
devoted to her children and adored taking Christopher to see his | ||
grandmother and on camping trips; generous and compassionate, she | ||
reached out to those who were suffering and offered love and hope to | ||
all those in need; any stray pet who came her way found a new home | ||
and tender care, and she instilled concern for the well-being of | ||
animals in her sons; and | ||
WHEREAS, Stacy Furdek brought joy to innumerable people | ||
through her wonderful sense of humor and great kindness; although | ||
she will be deeply missed, she will forever hold a special place in | ||
the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas, | ||

grandfather, James Richards, and his wife, Florence; 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 Senate and House of | ||
Representatives adjourn this day, they do so in memory of Stacy | ||
Richards Furdek. |
