WHEREAS, The passing of Sherry Diane Wakeland of Maypearl on | ||
March 18, 2019, at the age of 51, has brought profound sorrow to all | ||
those who loved and cherished her; and | ||
WHEREAS, The former Sherry Diane Ray was the beloved daughter | ||
of Adah Ray and the late Donald Ray, and she grew up with the | ||
companionship of a brother, Mark; she attended Abilene Christian | ||
University, where she met her future husband, Christopher James | ||
Wakeland; the couple married on March 19, 1988, and resided in | ||
Waxahachie for a time before settling in the Maypearl community; | ||
they became the devoted parents of four sons, Kyle, Daniel, Brett, | ||
and Landon, and Ms. Wakeland embraced her role as a mother, taking | ||
immense pride in raising her sons to be respectable men; and | ||
WHEREAS, Dedicated to nurturing the development of children, | ||
Ms. Wakeland returned to school in 2012 to complete her bachelor's | ||
degree and obtain her teaching certificate; for the past four | ||
years, she taught elementary school students in the Hillsboro | ||
Independent School District, where her passion and natural affinity | ||
for education were apparent to all; and | ||
WHEREAS, Although her journey on this earth ended far too | ||
soon, Sherry Diane Wakeland inspired everyone around her with her | ||
tremendous grace and determination, and her memory will continue to | ||
shine brightly in the hearts of those who were blessed to know her; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Sherry Diane Wakeland | ||
and extend deepest condolences to the members of her family: to her | ||
mother, Adah Ray; to her husband, Chris Wakeland; to her sons, Kyle | ||
Wakeland and his wife, Samantha, Daniel Wakeland, Brett Wakeland, | ||
and Landon Wakeland; to her brother, Mark Ray, and his wife, Rhonda; | ||
to her sister-in-law, Lori Wakeland Duff; to her nephews, Matthew | ||
and Nathan Ray and Tyler Duff; 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 House of | ||
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Sherry | ||
Diane Wakeland. | ||
