WHEREAS, Friends and family are mourning the loss of Aurora
Hinojosa Longoria of Mission, who passed away on January 2, 2017, at
the age of 92; and
WHEREAS, The former Aurora Hinojosa was born to Aurora and
Amador Hinojosa on August 12, 1924, in Mission, where she grew up
with her two brothers, Amador and Aaron, and her sister, Viola; she
went on to graduate as a member of the Mission High School Class of
1942; and
WHEREAS, This esteemed Texan exchanged the vows of matrimony
with Joe Longoria in 1945; the couple raised their four children,
Joe, David, Raymond, and Lillian, while living in Elsa, where
Mrs. Longoria gave generously of her time and talents as a Head
Start director and Cub Scout leader; they moved back to Mission in
1968, and with the passing years, Mrs. Longoria watched her
treasured family grow to include her 10 grandchildren, Melissa,
Michael, Eric, Bobby, David, Daniel, Jacob, Stephanie, Stacie, and
Christina, and 5 great-grandchildren, Ansel, Lunita, Zachary,
Savannah, and Julia; and
WHEREAS, Known affectionately as "Gora," Mrs. Longoria had a
way of making everyone feel like family by welcoming them into her
home and preparing them wonderful meals and delicious margaritas; a
woman of deep faith, she was a valued congregant of Our Lady of
Guadalupe Catholic Church; in her spare time, she enjoyed cheering
on her favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys; and
WHEREAS, Aurora Longoria enjoyed a life that was rich in the
intangibles that matter most, and she is deeply missed by all who
held her dear; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Aurora Hinojosa
Longoria and extend sincere condolences to the members of her
family and to her many 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 Aurora
Hinojosa Longoria.
